Ellwood (Woody) Crowell
Joins the Aspiro Group

The Aspiro Group family of services is pleased to announce the addition of Ellwood "Woody" Crowell to our family. Woody brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and personal relationships across the industry to our Executive Management Team.

Woody's primary roles at Aspiro will include working closely with our Vice President and Founding Partner, Brian Church, to strengthen our current relationships with Educational Consultants, Clinical Professionals, residential and traditional boarding programs, and hospitals through facilitating continued awareness around the clinical treatment process used in our Adventure Therapy Settings. Developing new informational materials used to inform and strengthen the understanding and beliefs about clinical treatment and how it is intertwined into Adventure Therapy.

Woody will work closely with our Clinical Director, Dr. Gordon Day PhD, to develop an Integrated Family Systems Alumni Program that will focus on a variety of clinical support networks, clinically facilitated workshops, webinars facilitated with our Executive Director and Founder Randy Oakley, and Summer Leadership based expeditions for all Aspiro, Vantage Point, and Kairos alumni.

Woody will work with our Field Department in recruiting well educated, highly experienced, motivated Lead Field Guides with mastery skills in adventure based therapeutic settings such as rock climbing, rappelling, mountaineering, mountain biking, skiing, and back country camping to work with our students and their families. Additionally, work will begin on the creation of a "Skills Camp" that is designed to offer additional mastery in primitive "hard skills" that will be used while on expedition and the compilation of clinical data through Artistic Therapeutic involvement.

Woody will also work closely with our Admissions Director, Josh Watson LCSW to support his team during the process of informing and educating families through the process of making the difficult decision of seeking help and placement during their times of crisis. Woody will work with Josh to develop clear and concise clinical data regarding the clinical work facilitated during a student and families experience while at Aspiro and beyond.

Please join us in welcoming Woody to our family.

The Aspiro Group of programs is made up of four powerful programs: Aspiro (traditional wilderness students ages 13-17), Vantage Point, (neurologically diverse adolescents ages 13-17), Kairos (young adults), and Momentum (summer leadership expeditions). All Aspiro programs are based on an extremely effective Wilderness Adventure Therapy (WAT) model. Aspiro provides a more exciting, more powerful, more effective intervention for struggling teens and adults
