Safe Speech Creative Writing Sessions is used as a prevention and early intervention therapeutic support group. Like Let's Write Out Loud, it aids with the implementation of the Federal Common Core State Standards focusing on English and Language Arts but also focuses on the mental health stigmas of depression and looks into the connotations of positive and negative lyrics and images of hip-hop music and its influences.

This program has been funded by the Riverside Department of Mental Health via the "Cup of Happy" program at Operation SafeHouse in Riverside, CA. The "Cup of Happy" program offers prevention and early intervention efforts prior to a diagnosis for mental illness, promoting emotional wellness for youth and young adults 16-25. Using our "Safe Speech Creative Writing Sessions", youth learn to express themselves through writing, as a therapeutic processing tool, to gradually ease feelings of emotional trauma.
