Doc Wayne is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded and organized in Massachusetts.  Doc Wayne, from the beginning, has focused particularly on youth who are burdened with complex trauma, combined with serious emotional disorders, substance abuse, and severely challenging behaviors. Often this behavior of unpredictable violence has contributed to these youth being unwelcome in home, school, and community venues. For these youth, an innovative and sport based experience is offered through the medium of a therapeutic curriculum (DtG or Do the Good) embedded in team sports that maximizes their potential to achieve individual goals while providing desired outcomes. The curriculum was designed by Doc Wayne in collaboration with Edgework Consulting, an internationally recognized creator of developmental services based in cognitive behavioral therapy through a sports venue.

 "Nelson Mandela said of sport, ‘Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire, the power to unite a people in a way little else can.’ It is time we fully employ the unique power of sport to help our traumatized youth begin on their path to a more pro-social, successful life."
Susan Wayne, Founder of Doc Wayne
