DRUMBEAT®
Through delivery of DRUMBEAT® program RDP Enterprise Solutions’ vision is to build better futures for individuals, families and communities, through bringing lasting change to those harmed by alcohol, drugs and mental wellbeing issues.
DRUMBEAT® is an acronym for Discovering Relationships Using Music, Beliefs, Emotions, Attitudes, and Thoughts. For centuries, ancient cultures have used hand drumming to bring people together. DRUMBEAT draws on this wisdom and the latest research to create the innovative, evidence-based program. It is the world’s first structured learning program using music, psychology and neurobiology to reconnect with ourselves and others.
The DRUMBEAT® Program was first developed in 2003 by Holyoake while working with local Aboriginal young people and Elders in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia. It is a culturally secure practice. After showing tangible benefits in engaging young Aboriginal men, the program continued to expand and show similar success with people of all ages, and from a variety of backgrounds. At the core of the program, DRUMBEAT® is about healthy human relationships, thus having universal application to many cultures around the world.
The DRUMBEAT®Program is a structured, but flexible course delivered across 10 sessions.
Each session focuses on different relationship themes;
- such as identity and social responsibility;
- values;
- dealing with emotions;
- peer pressure;
- harmony;
- communication and teamwork
Importantly, the program concludes with a performance, giving participants the opportunity to showcase their new-found skills and confidence and share their progress with family, friends and other respected people in their lives.
