What We’re About
IGP is a unique approach to solving the mental health crisis in today’s youth.
Many people, especially kids, struggle to delve into deep emotions through words. IGP uses the arts (music, art, drama) in therapy as a tool for processing feelings, events, and experiences.
IGP believes play and joy are important elements in improving mood states, decreasing anxiety and developing resiliency.
When people like what they are doing the brain responds by releasing (dopamine) which is responsible for feelings of happiness.
When you engage a person’s body in something that relaxes them (art, music drama) less cortisol is released in the brain which diminishes anxiety.
IGP uses a unique combination of talk therapy therapy, mentoring, psycho-education and the arts to promote a fun and empowering experience.
