Beat the Odds: Social and Emotional Skill Building Delivered in a Framework of Drumming Beat the Odds integrates activities from contemporary drum circles and group counseling to teach skills such as focusing and listening, team building, leadership, expressing feelings, managing anger/stress, empathy and gratitude.
It is inclusive, culturally relevant, and does not bear the stigma of therapy. UCLA researchers have shown that Beat the Odds can significantly improve a spectrum of behavior problems in children, such as inattention, withdrawn/depression, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, attention deficit/hyperactivity, oppositional defiance, and sluggish cognitive tempo.

While this program has been designed for use with elementary age children, it can be easily adapted to any population such as older children, families, and older adults. The program can serve a whole classroom at a time and is designed for delivery by school personnel or individuals without musical experience. Many school counselors, psychiatric social workers, and school psychologists in the Los Angeles Unified School District have received training in Beat the Odds.
