Successful Outcomes For A Brighter Future
Trails Carolina’s wilderness therapy program has helped hundreds of families rebuild their relationships with their son or daughter. Many of our families and students are so pleased with their experience that they have chosen to share their stories with you, to help you understand what an Impact Trails has had on their lives.
Trails Carolina Research Initiative
Trails Carolina began a research initiative in 2015, partnering with the Center for Research, Assessment, and Treatment Efficacy and the Arkansas Institute of Developmental Science. The objective of this study was to research the therapeutic effectiveness of wilderness therapy. This project represents the first investigation of wilderness treatment outcomes, with a particular emphasis on family functioning and improvements.
