About New Vision Wilderness
Based in Wisconsin's stunning Northwoods, New Vision Wilderness is an outdoor behavioral health program for adolescents, teens, and their families affected by trauma. The program's purposeful design integrates trauma-responsive therapy into all aspects of treatment. By combining outdoor therapy with individual counseling and canine therapy, New Vision has created a unique approach to address trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and depression in teens.
The program lasts 80 days. New Vision Wilderness Therapy is accredited through Cognia and offers options for academic credits. The academic curriculum at New Vision can integrate with their therapeutic experiences. Lessons are integrated into daily activities. Teens occasionally have time for independent reflection rather than leaving their groups for class time.
During the program, students live in private tents and travel according to a nomadic lifestyle, setting up camp once or twice every week in a different location. Groups are gender specific and consist of up to 8 individuals, and each student sleeps in their own tent. Canine therapy is an essential part of the program, and canines live with teens during the recovery process. New Vision offers activities like backpacking, mountaineering, white water rafting, fly-fishing, dog sledding in the winter, and more.
New Vision Wilderness uses a variety of clinical treatments to heal the body and mind. Their mental health services are geared towards helping students with attachment or adoption challenges undo the effects of early stress or developmental trauma. Their therapeutic emphasis helps students have better control over their nervous systems and emotions by implementing brainspotting therapy and trauma-specific treatment modalities. A licensed therapist will supervise multiple individual and group therapy sessions 2 days a week while also incorporating family involvement.
