Makinnon's senior project on adventure therapy

I thought the concept of adventure therapy was interesting so I decided to look into it more. Adventure therapy is a type of therapy treatment that is a more of a physical approach. Existing research in adventure therapy reports positive outcomes in effectively improving self-esteem, help seeking behavior, increased mutual aid, pro-social behavior, trust behavior and more.  However, there is still debate that the therapy directly causes these positive outcomes. There are many adventure therapy programs for troubled youth and teens and have great results. This type of therapy is also used in teens who have drug abuse and addictions problems. It can also lead to improved attitude and decrease in depression. After I swim, I am always in a better mood after which can relate to Makinnon and surfing.
