Graduates First Adolescent Clients

More than 15 young adult clients have been introduced to our program in Oregon since it's formation in early 2013, and an equal number of adolescents since the program was granted licensure for those age ranges. We're proud to announce the graduation of our first adolescent clients.

The families and all staff involved attended the event for the graduating clients. The graduation marveled the advances these young teens made in their interventions, and to celebrate the first adolescents to successfully accomplish New Vision Wildernesses' newly formed expansion of our wilderness challenge program located in Oakridge, Oregon. The clients and their parents are the first to witness the extraordinary strides in mental health intervention that our program and staff are continuously creating.

"I am sure many parents feel the same apprehension when sending their child to a wilderness program. Did I do the right thing? Will my child resent me? When I picked my son up from his graduation he said to me 'Mom, thank you for making the decision I needed, not the one that I wanted.' Having my son back, seeing him smile, the clarity in his eyes, his sense of humor coming back to life is all the assurances I needed." From Jen J., Mother of NVW Graduate
