Adventure Recovery Leadership in the Mental Health Field

“Adventure Recovery has been so meaningful for McCall’s clients. The guided experiences create space for reflection, connection, and healing, helping participants discover new perspectives on themselves. They are challenged to go beyond their comfort zone and there, find aspects of themselves like strength and perseverance that serve them on their journey.

Our clients have shared how being in nature brings them a sense of calm and clarity they’ve been missing, while also showing them that recovery can truly be joyful. It’s an incredible way to support growth, resilience, and transformation.”—Maria Coutant Skinner, LCSW (she/her/hers), President & CEO of McCall Behavioral Health, Connecticut
