Nourishment Webinar: Adventure Therapy: Bridging the gap between traditional talk therapy & experiential learning (30 Minutes)
Adventure Therapy is often characterized by ropes courses and extreme sports pursuits. However, the therapeutic modality is based on active experimentation in a variety of settings. Adventure Therapy is the proscriptive use of diverse activities, kinesthetic engagement, perceived risk, and multi-sensory integration for specific targeted outcomes. Christopher Sharp, PhD, will talk about the therapeutic benefits of this holistic approach and the empowerment in one’s own recovery that it enables. This 30-minute presentation will include a brief Q&A session. Please note: This is a complimentary non-CE event.
The webinar begins at 8:30AM PDT.
