Left Write Hook
Empowering Survivors with Boxing & Writing

A research-informed 8-week trauma recovery program combining non-contact boxing and creative writing, designed and delivered by survivors.

Our Mission

Left Write Hook is a research-informed, trauma-responsive 8-week program designed for adult survivors of child sexual abuse and gendered violence. We combine the physical empowerment of non-contact boxing with the emotional release of creative writing to help survivors reclaim their power, voice, and agency.

Founded by Dr. Donna Lyon, a survivor and academic, our program is delivered by facilitators with lived experience. We believe healing is possible, and community is essential.

  • Designed and led by survivors
  • Backed by academic research and evaluation
  • Safe, inclusive, and confidential environment
