The Triggered Project’s Founder and co host of The Living a Triggered Life Podcast Actor Keith Mascoll created a Social Emotion and self efficacy building program called the Sneaker Therapy monologue Art Project While attending Harvard Graduate School of education summer 2023. The  Narrative Therapy program has grown from  being offered to kids  to be offered  to men with history  of chemical dependency, and men who have been incarcerated. Keith  Traveled to Portland Oregon with his show Triggered Life, and brought the project  with him. He took 10 kids from across Portland for the program.. The first 3 weeks was virtual with the fourth being in personal with social distancing in front of Keith’ and Jesse Rowell’s Sneaker Therapy Art installation. Also while in Portland The Triggered Project worked with VOA Portland, and their Men’s Circle of color group. Keith decided he wanted to do the Sneaker Therapy Monologue Art Project with them men in their recovery Center. The  relationship had grown to starting summer 2023 Sneaker Therapy Monologue Art Project will be done two times a year as part of  VOA’s Recovery Center treatment program. Keith has also traveled to Alabama to work kids in the foster care system with a collaboration with Tuskegee School of Social work. keith has done the program in Boston with a major Spots Team, a collaboration with Concepts sneaker store, Everybody can eat, and the Epiphany school, in New York with Medger Evers  College, and a City of Cambridge  mentoring program in Cambridge Ma. In the Program self efficacy and social emotional skills are built  as the participants write their own monologue  about manhood, mental health, and being resilient in their lives.The final step is a public share-out  of their monologues   and  the picking  of a resonating line from their monologue to write it on a pair of sneakers  as a political act, and to  help them step into a new narrative.
