Join us this week to learn about a wilderness program that uses the outdoor effect and safe struggle to accelerate growth and results. Nichol, the Executive Director of Summit Achievement in Stow, Maine shares how his program\'s hybrid wilderness model is so effective for taking what students learn outdoors and then applying it in actual life settings. He discusses how they help their students take on challenges, improve their executive functioning skills, handle transitions, learn "tone, tact and timing" and why the pot vaping trend appeals to neurodiverse teens and young adults. We discuss when a wilderness therapy program is appropriate for neurodiverse young people, especially when an outpatient clinical or residential setting isn\'t working. You\'ll also gain insights on things you can implement at home.
