Ep 34 - Helping Teen Brains with Improv
Episode description
In this episode Julie and Ginger welcome Scott Kuenneke and Mary DeMichele into the studio.
Scott is an integral part of the CALO Programs Residential Treatment Facility clinical team and he oversees all Neurofeedback and QEEG brain maps for assessment and treatment. Mary developed “One Rule Improv”, a trauma-informed method of improv that creates a neurobiological change in the brain. Her method is used in classrooms, outpatient programs, foster care groups, group homes, RTCs and corporations.
The combined knowledge of these two individuals is amazing. They have aligned the techniques and strategies of improv with what actually happens in the brain and how that can become a healing tool.
Mary says that improv is great in the classroom because, “No matter what mood the students are in when they enter the classroom, improv puts everyone in a better state.”
