Into the Field, Into Themselves: The Life-Changing Impact of Wilderness Therapy

Welcome back mental health enthusiasts. In this episode of the Telos.org podcast, we sit down with Dr. Will White, founder of Stories from the Field, to explore the powerful connection between mental health and outdoor therapy. With more than 30 years of experience in wilderness therapy and experiential mental health treatment, Will shares firsthand stories from the field that highlight how nature-based interventions help adolescents and young adults build resilience, emotional regulation, and personal responsibility. The conversation examines the evolution of wilderness therapy programs, the science and outcomes behind outdoor mental health care, and why experiential approaches remain some of the most effective tools for treating anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. This episode is a must-listen for parents, therapists, educators, and anyone interested in the future of adolescent mental health treatment.Follow Will on social mediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/storiesfromthefieldpodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063534825310Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/19rViPH7K7VE1YKAkRmNF0?si=335937200d42449cApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stories-from-the-field-mental-health-and-the-outdoors/id1769441080Visit his website and podcastWebsite - https://storiesfromthefield.comPodcast - https://storiesfromthefield.com/the-episodesLink in our bio or listen on these other platformsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@officialtelos564/videos Apple Podcasts: https://shorturl.at/tDGSJSpotify: https://shorturl.at/GfKWp #TelosPodcast #WildernessTherapy #OutdoorMentalHealth #ExperientialTherapy#AdolescentMentalHealth #MentalHealthInNature #StoriesFromTheField #TherapeuticOutdoors #NatureBasedTherapy #TelosU #TelosAcademy #UltimatePotential
