Women of Courage: A Personal Account of a Wilderness-Based Experiential Group for Survivors of Abuse
Kelly, Virginia A.
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v31 n2 p99-111 Jun 2006
Adventure-based therapy has grown in both scope and popularity. These groups are frequently utilized in the treatment of adolescents with behavioral or substance abuse issues. Less evident is the use of this modality with other populations. Described here is a personal account of the author's participation in a wilderness-based group for women. Women of Courage is a course designed by Outward Bound specifically for women who self-describe as survivors of abuse. The program includes either a backpacking or canoeing component, a solo camping experience, and the opportunity to rock climb.
