About MAP Project

The MAP Project is an invaluable and engaging professional development experience focused on the mindset and mental health of educators, students, coaches, players and business organizations. We provide an in-depth look at how COVID-19 has impacted our mental health and mindset. Optimal individual and organizational mental health will be addressed by exploring how pathways for self-care, social-emotional experiences and mindfulness strategies can be implemented in daily life. As we approach the new world, we have a greater respect for how our mental health has been challenged, in addition to our basic physical wellness.

Dr. Michael Fowlin

Michael Fowlin, better known as Mykee, is no stranger to the stage. He has been formally acting since age 11, but started creating voices (via prank calling) at age 9. In addition to his talents on stage, he has an undergraduate degree in psychology from Evangel University, in Springfield, Missouri, and in the fall of 2001, he attained a doctorate degree in clinical psychology from Rutgers University. Oddly enough, he suffers from delusions of grandeur, for, while performing, he is convinced that every audience member is his patient.

His programs combine both his professional acting talents and his psychological training. His mission is to create an atmosphere of worldwide inclusion, not just tolerance, towards all people. He has worked extensively with all age groups in the United States and in other countries. His work has included peer mediation, diversity trainings, gender equity workshops, and violence prevention seminars.

He hopes that all audience members will leave his performance with that wonderful, awakening feeling of beauty: the beauty within one’s self and the beauty within others; the celebration of our differences, and the acceptance of our shared experiences.
