Dr Burdick visits Wingate in October @ Grand Canyon, North Rim
If you have the chance to visit the Grand Canyon, do it. The North Rim in October is a perfect time. In visiting with wilderness staff from Wingate the importance of experiencing the expanse of nature for youth is the perfect window of opportunity for treatment. The Grand Canyon is a metaphor for deep the abyss can run between parents and their son or daughter, and wilderness treatment can be an incredibly healing solution. However, let’s be clear: It’s more than the geography, it’s the trained and licensed staff. Dr Burdick only uses wilderness programs that visibly promote their licensure and ongoing training, and Wingate is a partner from that perspective. Their use of Native American culture is fundamental to their mission of rebuilding spirit and meaning for families, as their therapists and field staff support the work of the youth in outdoor setting. Ask yourself: Could my daughter / son use a “jump start” in rebuilding their lives and relationships? Let us help you today to start the solution.
