CounterPunch is not rocket science! It simply gives participants the missing information that allows them to connect with themselves in a way that empowers them to achieve their full potential.
CounterPunch has been highly effective with a wide range of participants but was designed originally to assist adolescents. Since its inception in 2013 CounterPunch has evolved. CounterPunch provides Teens specific training either in a one to one or workshop format. It also provides specific half day training workshops for parents of adolescents and two day educator workshops for sports coaches and teachers who work with adolescents.
CounterPunch also facilitates a comprehensive training and resource package for schools, gyms or organisations who would like to become CounterPunch providers.
