Activity Therapy Programme
Adventure therapy bases
itself around an experiential process requiring the ‘learner’ to
provide motivation in energy, involvement and responsibility for their
own positive actions and outcomes.
Through using a flexible
approach to outdoor activities and problem solving exercises the
individual (within a group) challenges themselves by going through a
process of new experiences.
These
changes are achievable when integrated with the relapse response programme
providing a chance to reflect on positive and negative occurrences,
individuals behaviour and actions within the group.
Unlike
other forms of therapy, A.T. provides feedback through ‘natural
consequences’. The instructors steer individuals on a journey of
learning. Throughout the entire programme each individual learns numerous
practical skills, this creates possible new interests and also serves as a
medium to provide measurable feedback on performance and process. |
