Why is outdoor learning so effective in trauma therapy? 
Outdoor activities and nature-based interventions have been recognised for their therapeutic benefits in trauma recovery. They provide sensory stimulation, promote relaxation, enhance self-regulation, and help build a connection with the natural world.
Our adventure programme has been designed to harmonise with a young person’s abilities, aspirations and feelings and allow them to enjoy new and fun experiences they might never have encountered before.
