"Doc Wayne has taught me to try new things every day and never give up."

This is from one of our youth participants last school year. Through sports, play, and therapy, they’re discovering confidence, courage, and the power of never giving up.

Keep playing. Keep growing. Keep going.

🎊 🎆 Happy New Year from the Doc Wayne team! 🎆 🎊

2025 was filled with major successes, achievements, and new opportunities for growth for our team. We continued to build on the longterm success of our clinical programs like Chalk Talk® Group Therapy and Therapeutic Recess by expanding our offerings through The Community Clinic, our outpatient mental health clinic seeing youth and adult clients in Allston, Framingham, and via telehealth.

Meanwhile, our Champions Network® team significantly expanded the reach of our trainings through new methods of delivery including self-paced trainings and free live workshops. Thanks to the efforts of all our staff, we were recognized for our impact by local news organizations, sports teams, and through community awards.

Thanks to our team, we were able to support thousands of youth, families, and adults in their mental health journeys. We're looking forward to continuing our mission of moving communities of youth and adults toward stronger mental health and brighter futures in 2026. Happy New Year!

This holiday season, Scott Wayne shares a special message about his father Eli "Doc" Wayne and the legacy that sparked a global movement for sport-based mental health care ⚽🏀. Susan Wayne founded the organization to carry forward Doc's belief in connection, teamwork, and showing up for young people when it matters most 💙.

Today, that vision lives on through Chalk Talk, Therapeutic Recess, the Champions Network, and The Community Clinic, reaching youth and adults across Greater Boston and around the world 🌍.

Watch Scott’s message and join us in continuing this movement of hope, healing, and connection through the power of sports.
