Who is Project DRAMA for?
The program is for youth ages 8-17 years of age who frequently appear stressed, worried, anxious or have a depressed mood (feeling sad, irritable or empty).
What is Project DRAMA and what will my child be doing?
Project DRAMA is a research program being conducted at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ. This program will observe the effects of different art groups on anxiety and depression. If your child is eligible to participate, they will be randomly assigned to an arts group that meets weekly for 9 weeks. In the 90-minute sessions, groups of 5-15 youth will participate in instructor led arts groups. The three art groups your child could be assigned to are improv, improv plus wellness skills, or a social crafts group. Improv is short for improvisation, a theater technique that allows for spontaneous live performances.
How do I get my child involved?
Interested families are encouraged to email the research team at soarlab@case.edu.
