Chalk Talk® Sport-Based Therapy
Doc Wayne’s sport-based group therapy program, Chalk Talk®, engages youth by harnessing the power of sport! Our coaches use soccer, basketball, flag-football, and other team sports to support students as they process and persevere through adversity.
Chalk Talk® is a mobile service. Doc Wayne coaches travel to the communities our students live in to ensure they can access the program. Sessions are provided on-site at a school or community center’s gym, field, or another comparable space.
