People in Sweden have been imprinted by the challenges of surviving a harsh climate. The connection with weather, wind, seasons and a need to be close to nature for well being is deeply rooted.
Today, there is a documented mental health crisis among the youth in Sweden. Established mental health treatments are not able to meet their growing need and calls for help. Wilderness Therapy has one answer in a country of vast open spaces of mountains, forests, lakes and islands.
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. There is also the First Nation, Sapmi, indigenous to the north of Scandina
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. There is also the First Nation, Sapmi, indigenous to the north of Scandinavia, with an urgency to restore their rights to land and culture. Wilderness Therapy in Sweden will consider the need of a variety of programs for a diverse population.
Pilot projects are currently being developed to offer young people in need the opportunity to participate in the first Wilderness Therapy expedition in Sweden. Their symptoms might be depression, anxiety, low self esteem, relational difficulties and/or self-harming behaviors.
Wilderness Therapy in Sweden is inspired by the clinical model AEDP, developed by Diana Fosha, PhD, in the USA. It's a relational healing-oriented, body-centered and transformational model of therapy.
"We are wired to connect" (Diana Fosha, 2010)..... with each other and with Nature. The combination of Wilderness Therapy and the pathos of AEDP will provide an ultimate opportunity for restoring resilience through safe, nurturing relationships with experienced therapists and nature guides.
