What is Adventure Therapy?
Adventure Therapy is a form of experiential therapy that uses outdoor activities and challenging experiences to promote healing and personal growth. It is often used to help veterans and first responders struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges by immersing them in nature and engaging them in physical, team-based, or individual challenges.
