Adventure Recovery: Changing Lives
Adventure Recovery: Truly Making a Difference
As we serve more populations and incorporate clinical therapeutic support into our roster of AR Crew resources, we are able to measure the impact of the Adventure Recovery approach through our outcomes. In the past five years, we’ve served over 1300+ different groups, impacting 4,600+ individuals through AR group programming. Additionally, we’ve served 1500+ clients in groups and individual Adventure Recovery coaching, AR guided experiences, and one-on-one mentorship. The average mentor-mentee engagement lasts 16+ months, ensuring consistency in communication and follow-through and our crew maintains connection so clients always know they have support. AR trainees often go on to work as adventure guides and expand their repertoire of outdoor skills as they continue on the path of healthy living. In addition, we see a decrease in symptoms of anxiety and stress. Clients note increased feelings of self-worth and improvement in communication and connection overall. Self-actualization comes through esteem-based acts and AR Coaches, AR Guides, AR Clinicians, and clients reap the rewards of intentional time in nature. This is where the magic happens.
