Adventure Therapy Trips for Mental Health Patients

Raising Health recently received funding for amazing trip for adults with mental health issues: a week-long sailing trip. Four adults and three members of LPT staff made their way from Ipswich to Gosport.

The four service users all had episodes of psychosis and this experience was designed to provide adventure therapy by using challenging and unfamiliar environments to create an intense physical demand, new social interactions, and the learning of new skills.

The sailors had to take turns raising and lowering sails, cooking and cleaning. It served as a truly positive experience and helped have a profound impact on those with mental health issues.
