“Awakening moments” are those pivotal moments that shape a person’s paradigm and changes the direction of their life. These life changing moments happen every day in the Outback wilderness for staff, students and therapists. While these moments are often small, they have big impacts on the lives of those experiencing them.
These awakening moments are the foundation of Outback.
Field guide, Zane, shares a story of growing through wilderness therapy. A young man who struggled with teen drug abuse and teen depression learned how to overcome and grow through being in the wilderness. He became the leader of the group and became proud of what he accomplished.
