PEAK
EXPERIENCE TRAINING
Guiding
Staff to New Heights of Performance and Professionalism
Wilderness
therapy is one of the most powerful, effective, and
exciting interventions for teens in trouble. The wilderness
treatment industry is booming with innovative programs
and new models continue to be developed. Those behind
the scenes know that wilderness field staff are the
unsung heroes of this work; they are the fuel that keeps
programs running. They realize the visions of founders,
and they implement the strategies devised by therapists.
However, all too often they do not receive adequate
resources. Under increasing demand for services, programs
are hard-pressed to keep staff in the field and they
struggle to find the time to provide the necessary training
for staff to excel. Consequently, field staff may lack
confidence to handle the issues with which they are
faced, and they often feel overwhelmed, unprepared,
and stressed. This ultimately leads to burnout; the
average tenure for field staff in the wilderness therapy
industry is 3 months!
PEAK EXPERIENCE TRAINING has the solution:
Clinical First Responder™ Training
This
hands-on training is designed specifically for wilderness
treatment field staff to provide the tools that they
need to enhance their performance in the field. This
two module course will train staff to recognize a wide
variety of psychological issues, to communicate in clinical
language with clinicians, and to de-escalate emotional
crises to prevent critical incidents. In addition to
increasing their skill level, staff will feel supported,
empowered, and prepared—ingredients which will enhance
their performance in the field. The Clinical First Responder™ training will help staff become better equipped to handle
day to day treatment issues and to respond appropriately
to the inevitable crises that occur in the field. The
end result is a more competent and confident staff and
a more effective and professional program. Moreover,
a higher standard of training will lead to increased
professionalism and will enhance the reputation of the
wilderness treatment industry as a credible mental health provider.
