SUWS
SUWS wilderness programs have been specializing in providing a safe and therapeutic environment for troubled and defiant teens to identify and work through emotional obstacles for 25 successful years. The obstacles that have kept inherently good children from responding to parental efforts, schools, and treatment in the past are removed in SUWS' wilderness environment. Experiential learning helps students learn to value themselves, access their own abilities and build upon their strengths.
The success of SUWS has been measured in many ways, including an independent study that found the participation in outdoor behavioral healthcare resulted in clinically significant reductions in the severity of behavioral and emotional symptoms.
