LAKE TOXAWAY, N.C.,
Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Trails Carolina, a leading wilderness therapy program for
teens ages 10-17, has been helping adolescents struggling with the
effects of COVID. The pandemic has had an immeasurable impact on
the mental health of many, and Trails Carolina believes that their
wilderness setting has been a healing place for teens needing
support during these unprecedented times.
"Many of our students struggle with anxiety," says Jeniveve
Rollins, LCSW, Clinical Director at Trails Carolina. "During
COVID-19, parents are reporting an increase in anxiety-related
behaviors such as retreating and isolating. To some extent, we
would expect to see such a rise during the pandemic as children
search for comfort and a sense of security in unknown times."
Trails Carolina is uniquely positioned to treat avoidance caused
by anxiety. Nestled in the beautiful vicinity of Lake Toxaway, North Carolina, the Trails
Carolina campus and its surroundings offer students the opportunity
to get out of their rooms, disconnect from technology, and
reconnect with nature in a safe and healing setting. Throughout the
pandemic, the individualized wilderness therapy treatment offered
by the Trails Carolina clinical team has led students to seek a new
sense of responsibility over their wellbeing and let go of previous
avoidant behaviors.
"The wilderness setting at Trails, in some ways, matches what
the world is experiencing at the moment. It is a break in the
routine, isolated and contained away from the outside world," says
Jeniveve Rollins, LCSW. "It gives students the chance to realize
they are capable of persevering through challenges."
The team of clinicians at Trails is trained in a variety of
treatment modalities including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,
Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness, and has helped
countless students and families in need of extra support over the
past few months. By offering a safe environment for treatment,
Trails Carolina is proud to have offered solace to adolescents
struggling with the effects of COVID by supporting them in their
healing journey.
