Wilderness Therapy For Hawaii Young Adults

What is Wilderness Therapy For Young Adults in Hawaii?

Young adults from Hawaii can benefit from a wilderness therapy experience as they step away from the harmful patterns of their day-to-day lives and step into a growth-oriented opportunity of a lifetime. Young adults struggling to effectively launch into adulthood should consider BlueFire Pulsar, a wilderness therapy program for young women and men ages 18-28. Based in southern Idaho, BlueFire Pulsar is passionate about helping young adults from Hawaii that need help taking control of their lives.

Away from the day-to-day distractions of everyday life, young people in a wilderness therapy program have the opportunity for healthy introspection and gain understanding about how to move forward. The wilderness provides a therapeutic backdrop like none other: nature helps us see ourselves for who we are. With an encouraging peer group, young adults offer one another support, feedback, and friendship. They work as a team to help one another and the whole group grow, learn, and thrive. The group conquers challenges together and recognizes the unique strengths that each individual has.

How Does Wilderness Therapy Work For Young Adults From Hawaii?

 

 

By eliminating day-to-day distractions, young adults have the opportunity to focus on what they really need to: themselves and their future. Meeting with skilled therapists multiple times per week allows for the greatest impact, which is why BlueFire Pulsar has therapists in the field four days per week. Combined with our wilderness setting, healthy peer culture, and adventure therapy programming, this offers young adults a unique opportunity to reflect, grow, and heal. The results are wide-ranging: better communication skills, self-esteem, self-confidence, and more. Wilderness therapy acts as the spark for big changes and healing. When young adults are feeling stuck, this is exactly what they need.

Find Growth and Success in Wilderness Therapy for Young Adults from Hawaii

 

Created specifically for young men and women ages 18-28, BlueFire Pulsar’s wilderness therapy program understands the evolving needs of the young adult population. Based in Idaho, BlueFire Pulsar is for young adults from Hawaii that need time to focus on themselves while becoming more independent and empowered. Our Adventure Therapy program offers a variety of different challenges that improve self-efficacy and increase resilience, while also expanding students’ lifelong hobbies and leisure activities.

BlueFire Pulsar takes a whole-person approach to care, and we believe that each student is more than the sum of their presenting issues. So that is why we use a multidisciplinary treatment team (Psychologist, Primary Therapist, Family Therapist, Recreation Therapist, Equine Specialist, Physician/RN) for each student. This results in a highly individualized treatment plan for every young adult and family.

Transition Planning is Key for Young Adults

 

From the beginning at BlueFire Pulsar, we are looking at what the next step toward independence will be. This starts with a thorough assessment of strengths, areas of growth, and more. It allows us to create a specific programming to meet the needs of each young adult with us. This is one of the reasons that we utilize a combination approach that includes transitional living.

Adventure Therapy Programming 

 

Along with traditional backpacking, students participate in a wide range of activities, including:

– Whitewater rafting.

– Caving.

– Bouldering.

– Mountain biking.

– Rock climbing.

– Skiing and snowboarding.

– Canoeing.

These activities get students moving, get them into their bodies, and help them regain a sense of excitement about new challenges. They find success in activities they never thought they could do!
