Who can participate in training?
Our training related to trauma-informed sport and Doc Wayne's innovative curriculum, Creating Champions™, are available for individuals and organizations.
Why sport-based therapy?
Sport-based therapy is a viable option for youth who may not progress in traditional talk therapy and has shown to be as effective as traditional outpatient therapy.
What is the purpose of the training?
Our goal is to make dramatic changes in how youth is served, where everyone has a standardized understanding of mental health issues, where cultural disparities are addressed, and open conversations can occur freely.
