Behavioral Problems in Teens

Our wilderness therapy program gives behavioral problems in teens the opportunity to remove themselves from their current stressor and triggers to focus on new, healthier behaviors.  All the while our Trails staff is working with the family back home to help instill real, lasting change.  We understand the individualized needs of each of our students and their families:

• Family Therapy– Behavioral problems with children extend beyond just the child.  Parents and siblings have been impacted as well, which is why we work with the student and the family back home.
• Practice and Success– Often students demonstrate success in one area and struggle to transition that success to new situations and people.  At Trails, we move from the wilderness to base camp and back again to practice these transitions in a nurturing environment.
• Experienced and Licensed Clinical Program– Trails Carolina clinicians have years of experience working with behavioral problems in teens, and we are licensed and accredited as a wilderness therapy facility.
• Equine Programming– Working with the horses in a therapeutic setting gives problem children a great chance to work on non-verbal communication skills and social cues.
• Individualized Coursework– Coming to a program can derail educational efforts back home. We offer classes that help our students keep moving forward with their studies.
