SaskScapes - Episode 71 - The B.E.A.T.S. Program

SaskScapes

Recognize, improvise, adapt and thrive.

Those are the key skills which lay the ground work for a phenomenal program in North Battleford called B.E.A.T.S. (Building Expression and Awareness Through Theatre and Sound). Alan Corbeil, a North Battleford social worker, created this program in partnership with the Living Sky School Division and the Prairie North Health Region. The program targets at-risk youth and teaches them the skills that set a course for a future full of hope. B.E.A.T.S. uses creativity to tap into each of the participant's gifts, and the result is proof in this episode. Kevin Power is joined by Alan along with Holly (artistic director), and two of the programs success stories - Talia and Sereta. You'll be truly touched by just how articulate, dynamic and confident these two young girls are, and they both credit the B.E.A.T.S. program for their newly found sense of self.
