Two local organizations have teamed up to create a therapeutic approach to boxing.
It’s called the Core Boxing Program, and the goal is to provide an outlet for teens and adults to build key life skills.
“There’s no labels here,” Sharman said. “There’s no nonsense. It’s a place where anyone can be just anyone.”The Core Boxing Program kicked off last year and was originally designed for teenagers on the spectrum, those with anxiety and depression disorders, trauma, PTSD and sensory processing issues. “If you remove a behavior from someone’s life they’re using to address things like mental health, you have to replace it with something,” Sanford-Heller said. “What the program is aiming to do for them is prevent going home and isolating and not being social. We want to get ahead of all those behaviors.”
Sharman described what he has noticed about the participants’ demeanor after being in the boxing ring.
