Community of Care
Fight with Insight have worked hard to build a Community of Care which ultimately forms a part of a mental health promotion program. FWI focus on basic developmental needs, such as food, hygiene, and also work towards ensuring access to constitutional rights, such as education, mental and physical health care services and introducing participants to a broader Community of Care, through partners. Through this Community of Care, Fight with Insight have been able to meet many of the varied needs of young people who are members of the gym, which is evident in the many successes and stories of change amongst the members of the squad. These range from boxing, education and entrepreneurial awards to personal development that has led to life changes. Fight with Insight is an open access boxing gym - free to all children who would like to participate. In order to support their participation, FWI use an approach called “Life Space Intervention”, which comes from Child & Youth Care theory, to understand their needs and potential barriers to participation.
