Second Nature Researchers Hoag, Massey and Roberts Present on Leading Wilderness Therapy's Approach with More Complex Clientele
Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 01, 2013 -- Dr. Matt Hoag, Katie Massey and Sean Roberts present "Dissecting the Wilderness Therapy Client: Clinical Trends, Findings and Industry Patterns" to their professional colleagues at the 13th Annual SEER Conference. They are presenting on the recent changes in typical adolescent and young adult students, including data on the prevalence of mood disorders and dual diagnoses.
Essentially, they dive into the requirement that "wilderness field instructors and therapists are no longer just providing a sober experience; rather, they are providing intensive mental health treatment in the setting of the wilderness."
