THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMMING

< Previous Next >

With our emphasis on team building, group problem solving skills, cooperation, trust, self-confidence, and expression of feelings, Morse Hill's standard adventure education programs clearly have a therapeutic effect on the participants. Our post-program evaluations confirm the positive changes seen in participants by group leaders following a visit to Morse Hill.

Certain participants can benefit additionally from a more focused approach. In our therapeutic adventure programs, we devote extra attention and time to helping participants process and understand their experiences. We explain each initiative metaphorically to help participants confront and understand any discomfort or distress they may feel. Encouraging the use of metaphors helps participants make useful connections between their Morse Hill experience and the challenges of everyday life. Participants leave Morse Hill with a new perspective on their life and a fresh approach to dealing with old problems.

Therapeutic adventure education has a well-established track record of efficacy with substance abuse, violence prevention, depression and many other treatment areas. Ronald Meck, our Director of Therapeutic and Arts Programming, brings over 25 years of experience as a therapist and trainer of therapists at Lesley College and the European Graduate School. His unique and exciting model integrates therapeutic adventure education with expressive arts therapy. Ronald will work with you to custom design a program to suit your needs.
