Elements Wilderness Collaborates
With The Seven Challenges®

Elements Wilderness Program is collaborating with The Seven Challenges® to bring this evidence based substance abuse treatment program to adolescents in the wilderness.

The Seven Challenges® model, which was created and written by Dr. Robert Schwebel, has become increasingly successful in targeting hard to reach and hard to engage adolescents. Instead of a one-size-fits all approach, the Seven Challenges Program is individualized with careful attention to meeting youth where they are at and providing successful counseling interventions. This helps young people look at themselves, understand what it takes to give up a drug abusing lifestyle, and prepare for success when they commit to change. More information on The Seven Challenges® can be found at www.sevenchallenges.com.

Dr. Schwebel has worked for more that 35 years in the prevention and treatment of adolescent and young adult substance abuse. He has conducted training and workshop sessions for professional and community audiences around the country, published numerous books and articles, and developed prevention and treatment programs for schools, and public and private agencies. Regularly called for comments and interviews by the national and local press, Dr. Schwebel has appeared on the Oprah Show, The Today Show, numerous CNN interviews, and The CBS Early Show.

Elements Wilderness Program is excited about The Seven Challenges program. Most students we treat at Elements are in the very early stages of change and we think The Seven Challenges approach best meets the needs of our clients. Students usually come into our program with low motivation and limited understanding of their substance use patterns and The Seven Challenges helps foster an environment where students will open up and be honest about their substance use and gain the insight necessary to make healthy choices about their use.
