Culminating Project
For my culminating project I wrote a needs assessment for jail reentry programs in Washington State and proposed to use art and music therapy as a mental health counseling tool. I specifically focused on Whatcom, King, and Pierce County to research what programs are offered and study the recidivism rates in these communities. As I found through my research that the recidivism rates are higher, due to few programs and support for prisoners, there are few opportunities for people to get out of this system.
During my research in Human Services, I have been learning a lot about Art and Music Therapy programs, and how it is a beneficial mental health counseling method. My program proposal and recommendations proposed this therapeutic tool as a service that could be offered in jails, prisons, and reentry organizations. I also tied this project with my grant writing master proposal, letter of inquiry, and logic model, designed to form an art and music therapy program which all can be found in the appendices.
I created a brochure of what the program would offer, including information about:
- Drumming Circles
- Group Listening Activities
- Keyboarding
- Meditative listening
- Singing Lessons
- Drawing
- Sculpting
- Listening/drawing activities
My presentation includes the research of recidivism in Washington State Counties including any programs that are offered. I then created a proposal for Art and Music Therapy, with information about the therapy, a logic model including resources and funding, and a visual brochure to show what the program would look like. My culminating project paper, brochure, and presentation can be downloaded below.
