What is bullying and violence prevention, and how can dance/movement therapy contribute?
Let's teach youth and adults how to prevent violence and bullying.
Dance/movement therapy offers a hands-on experience in a secure environment, teaching youth spatial awareness, body awareness, and safety strategies for tense situations.
In a group, family or individual setting, the therapist facilitates the exploration of emotional and social aspects while guiding youth in identifying, understanding, and regulating their emotions, fostering a strong sense of self-identity and self-worth, and encouraging positive contributions to their social environment.
Through this therapy, youth acquire long-term skills in emotion regulation, improved social skills, empathy, self-empowerment, and self-identity, ultimately reducing the likelihood of engaging in negative behaviors.
