SPECIAL GUEST: Dr. Joanna Bettman, Research Director, Open Sky Wilderness

There is no typical teenager because adolescents express themselves in such a variety of behaviors. However, there is often one common theme that runs through the lives of teen students: difficulty coping with life’s challenges in a healthy and effective manner.

Dr. Joanna Bettman joins Allen to discuss what kinds of teens are served by wilderness therapy and the studies that have been conducted that compare this method with other conventional therapies.
