Abstract:
While most behavioral problems among teens are addressed in the student’s home and school environments, some cases may involve extreme behavior that cannot be handled in traditional venues. In such cases, behavioral change often requires removing the teen from his or her social environment. This article explains the philosophy, rigor, and therapeutic value of outdoor programs for young people with behavioral and emotional dysfunctions.Keywords: Healthy coping skills
