Celebrating Louisiana Youth Excellence at the 2025 LYFE State Conference

We had a blast!! Thank you for having us, Governor Jeff Landry’s Office of Programs and Planning join the 2025 Louisiana Youth for Excellence (LYFE) State Conference, a statewide initiative dedicated to empowering Louisiana youth through education, leadership, and community engagement. Hosted under the Office of Governor Jeff Landry, Louisiana Youth for Excellence “LYFE” provides young people across the state with the tools and encouragement to make positive, informed choices for their futures.

We’re especially grateful to LYFE Executive Director, Dr. Amanda M. Shackelford, and her team for their ongoing support of The TMM Project and our efforts to merge the performing arts with youth empowerment initiatives. This summer, LYFE proudly stood with us as we presented our Stay HYPE Award to the Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts (BRCVPA) for the successful launch of their new school campus, a moment that continues to inspire our mission to bridge artistry, education, and purpose. And a huge congratulations to BRCVPA for officially cutting the ribbon this past week on their brand-new building! We’re so proud to see this milestone come to life and can’t wait to watch their students continue to thrive in such a vibrant new space.

TMM’s CONNECT Program at Creswell Elementary: The Power of Arts in Mental Health Education

The TMM Project recently brought its CONNECT program to Creswell Elementary, engaging students in a dynamic experience that blends spoken word, movement, and storytelling to support emotional expression and well-being.

CONNECT is designed to integrate the arts into education, offering students creative tools to navigate emotions, build self-awareness, and strengthen peer connections. Led by Terrance Michael Morgan, the program featured artist True Justice, whose spoken word performance resonated with students, encouraging open dialogue about emotions and resilience.

The Role of Arts in Mental Health Education

The arts provide an accessible and impactful way for students to explore complex emotions, making social-emotional learning (SEL) more engaging. Programs like CONNECT help students:

• Develop self-expression and confidence

• Improve emotional regulation skills

• Strengthen connections with peers and educators

By adapting to different age groups and learning environments, the TMM Project ensures that CONNECT is both relevant and effective for schools seeking to enhance their mental health initiatives through the arts.

“Thank you so much for coming. Our students, faculty and staff really enjoyed it. I noticed some students that have dealt with some things really lock in to what you all were saying. Keep doing what you are doing, and if there is anything I can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to reach out.”

— Dana R. Provost, M. Ed, Administrative Assistant, North Central High

“
Thank you all again for sharing YOUR talent with Creswell Middle School, and bringing YOUR positive message in a dynamic, enthusiastic performance. We can’t wait for next year!”

— Stephanie Senegal, Creswell Middle School Principal

Bringing CONNECT to Your School or COMMUNITY

CONNECT is available for schools and community organizations looking to integrate creative arts into mental health education. To learn more or schedule a program, contact Terrance directly at 337-519-3217 or info@tmmproject.com.
