Donna Lyon - 'People's lives have been changed'

Chris Akers

Dr Donna Lyon runs a support group in Melbourne to help women who suffered from abuse when they were a child. The support group is called Left Write Hook and uses boxing and writing as a way to help women overcome the complex trauma they are going through. 

The group is now the subject of a new documentary which was shown at the Melbourne International Film Festival.

I discussed with Donna how the group was formed and how boxing and writing help to overcome trauma.
