ORGANIZATION TESTIMONIALS

This letter is to describe the qualifications of Todd Hunter as a drama therapist. I am the Director of Clinical Services and Public Outreach at the Centre for the Arts in Human Development at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. I, as Director, oversaw the clinical program at the Centre. Todd ran a drama therapy group of 8 individuals with diagnoses of developmental disabilities and neurodiversity. He also worked individually. Todd is a skilled and empathic man who showed an ability to be an effective therapist in the work he did at the Centre. He actively participated in our weekly clinical rounds meetings. His work as a therapist was impactful and I did effect change and self-development in the people with whom he worked. He was dedicated and responsible.

 

I fully recommend Todd as a drama therapist. He will be fully involved in being a trustworthy and effective therapist.

I am writing this letter of support for Todd Hunter's Drama Therapy Mental Health Theatre Project for Social Change pilot project. After years of working as an arts professional, I am the current Director of Education at Neptune Theatre. There is a huge lack of support for safe spaces to tell stories outside the colonial "Classic" standards. Combining Drama Therapy and community outreach will open doors and minds. Neptune is happy to support and assist with resources in outreach and communication. 

​

I have had the pleasure of working with Todd Hunter in a variety of ways over the past months. It is immediately apparent that Mr. Hunter has the highly trained professional skills and capabilities that we need and should be welcomed into our communities. His ideas, experiences, and methods are proving to be integral to people's creativity, and mental health awareness. He provides the tools and warm demeanor that fosters trust, safety and openness and permeates the therapeutic, creative space. 

​

I am confident that this project will act as a catalyst for many other projects in our communities. It will build bridges, fill gaps, expand knowledge and create sustainable practices for members of diverse communities in their work personally, creatively, and professionally. Everything discovered and assessed will go on to impact generations and destigmatize mental health issues.

Please consider this a letter of recommendation for Mr. Todd Hunter.


We have had the privilege of working with Todd, who has been offering Drama Therapy. In spite of the challenges due to COVID-19, Todd has been meeting with Indigenous members, either by Zoom or in person at our Centre, providing much-needed therapeutic support to those who are most vulnerable. Todd has proven himself to be a valuable member of our team. He is caring and dedicated, and we have had nothing but positive feedback from our members.


we, at Native Montreal, are confident he will be an asset to any organization that chooses him to be part of their team.

- M. Newhook/ Manager Prevention and Intervention Services / Native Montreal,

This is a letter of support for Mr. Todd Hunter.

 

As the Program Director of the St. John's Well Child Center Health Education Theatre Project, he was able to successfully and gainfully win the trust of community members and make huge positive health education impacts. His dynamic leadership abilities and creative approach to messaging helped our underserved community better understand the importance of immunizations, lead poisoning prevention, and mental health support. Todd utilized performance, using local untrained talent, as a messaging tool for effective community outreach. His ability to engage his participants and attending audiences were highly valuable and productive.

​

I  strongly recommend supporting any and all endeavors where he can incorporate his professional and highly sought talents for the betterment of community mental health well-being and care. 

J. Mangia/ President & CEO/ St. John's Well Child Center - Los Angeles
