University of Melbourne Randomised Control Trial
This research project will explore the impact of Left Write Hook on physical and psychological wellbeing, relative to boxing-only, as we already know that exercise can help mental and physical health.
This research will help us offer Left Write Hook to other survivors in the future. We also want to understand how Left Write Hook could be offered in new community settings, to empower survivors of childhood sexual abuse and gendered violence across Australia.
