The new generation is growing up in a country that quickly is becoming multicultural. How we address and care for the challenges to integrate diversity will determine the health of our society, people and the natural environment we are part of and all depend on.

Wilderness Therapy in Sweden will consider the need of a variety of programs for a diverse population.
