Attachment & Trauma Network (ATN) is excited to announce the addition of a screening of the Mott Haven Documentary at the 5th annual Creating Trauma-Sensitive Schools Conference on Thursday, Feb 24, 2022.
The screening will include a conversation with JC Hall, LMSW, EXAT a Hip Hop artist and clinical social worker who runs the Hip Hop Therapy Studio program at Mott Haven Community High School, a “second-chance” transfer school in the South Bronx. In 2013, Hall assembled a professional recording studio in an old storage room to provide youth the opportunity to engage in the therapeutic process through writing, recording, producing and performing their own music. The origins of the program are chronicled in the award-winning short documentary Mott Haven, which showcases the efficacy of this approach in addressing trauma and grief in the wake of a school tragedy. Due to its impact over the years, Hall won a national Jefferson Award for Outstanding Public Service in 2020.
Creating Trauma-Sensitive Schools is the largest gathering of trauma-informed educators in the world and in 2022 will be held both in-person in Houston, TX February 20-22, 2022 and virtually February 24 & 25, 2022. The screening and conversation will take place the evening of February 24.
Registration is open for both virtual and in-person portions of the conference. The virtual portion will be headlined by Dr. Stephen Porges, Founder of the Polyvagal Institute and Amelia Nagoski, best selling co-author of the Burnout book. The sessions of the virtual conference will be accessible by attendees for up to 90 days beyond the conference.
