OUR APPROACH
•Trails Momentum is an adventure therapy program that helps young adults ages 18-25 who struggle with anxiety, depression, and direction during the transition to adulthood.
•Have you lost interest in things you used to enjoy because of depression, anxiety, or low self esteem?
•Do you struggle with finding motivation to set goals for yourself?
•Are you having persistent problems at school, at work, or in relationships?
•Do you doubt your ability to succeed?
•Do you wonder if you’re being too hard on yourself?
•Momentum can help overcome feelings of being stuck and overwhelmed and teach new skills to guide students along their journey into adulthood. We work with young adults who are actively interested in cultivating authentic relationships with others, solidifying their identity as individuals, continuing or revisiting their education, and seeking the skills necessary to feel confident and successful as adults.
Reboot & Rebuild
Young adulthood is a difficult transition period that leaves many people feeling exhausted and hopeless. They’ve lost motivation and hope in themselves and feel distant from their goals. We offer students the opportunity to take a break from stressors in their home environment to reflect on their goals and learn new techniques to help them manage their emotions and strengthen relationships.
Remove Distractions
Our beautiful location, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is a place of hope and healing. Unlike some other wilderness therapy programs for young adults, we follow a hybrid model, where you split time between living on campus and being off-site for the wilderness and adventure activities. Here, technology and the distractions of modern life are left far behind. It is where students begin the work to find what they have been searching for.
Many young adults struggle with feeling like they have close authentic connections. We provide a small, nurturing community where students build close connections with other students who have struggled with similar issues. Our clinical team takes a relationship-based approach where we prioritize building trust in relationships and empowering students to take an active role in their treatment. However hopeless you may feel; you are never alone.
Self-doubt is an issue many of our students struggle with. We focus on helping students identify their individual strengths and explore their interests using principles of positive psychology. Adventure therapy encourages students to discover their strengths and build confidence in themselves. No outdoor experience is necessary!
We empower young adults to learn how to make healthier decisions that will better serve them. Student success comes from being willing to reconsider their mindset and to be open to new experiences. We offer a variety of experiential activities that we encourage students to participate in to help them build confidence, work as a team, and improve their problem solving abilities.
