Description

Program Development Series Module #3

Introducing adventure therapy into clinical practice comes with a variety of responsibilities for mental health providers. These include clarity about our clinical approach, management of clinical dynamics and risks that may show up with our clients, a well-developed approach to informed consent, and a solid understanding of the clinical processes we will engage in, such as structuring sessions and documenting our work. This training reviews each of these topics and provides some useful tools for practice!
