Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Adventure Therapy: Practitioner Perspectives on AT Education and Practice

Friday, October 25, 2024
4:15 PM – 4:45 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 4A
Adventure therapy (AT) is an effective form of treatment for a wide array of populations. However, AT education and clinical practice are lacking diverse perspectives and representation. This poster explores perspectives of AT practitioners on DEI in AT education and practice. Implications for research, education, and practice are discussed.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe current reported gaps in diversity, equity, and inclusion in adventure therapy education and clinical practice, as well as barriers to engaging in adventure therapy as practitioners or clients among individuals who are members of underrepresented groups.
  2. Discuss recommendations for research and practice to further address DEI gaps and barriers to inclusion in AT education and clinical practice.
  3. Advocate for improved DEI in adventure therapy education in university settings and improved inclusion of underrepresented groups in clinical practice.
