Programs for Students in Crisis

Wilderness Programs

Wilderness Programs (also known as Outdoor or Therapeutic Adventure Programs) These programs are often the initial intervention in a plan to assist a family with an adolescent involved in negative and self defeating behaviors. There are a number of reasons to use a wilderness program. The programs run about six to eight weeks long and begin the process for the student in gaining insight into their behavioral patterns. There is no expectation that the adolescent will go willingly.
