Experiential Outdoor Healthcare Workshop  presented by Brie Shulman, M.A., LCPC
Recreation Hall at the University of Montana's Lubrecht Forest
This course offers a hands-on introduction to the evidence-based model of Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare and activities to blend into any practice. The two-day course invites attendees to participate in activities used to facilitate empowerment, belonging, self-worth, and reflection through a holistic and interactive approach to mental health. Activities will continue into the evening around a campfire for those who choose to spend the night, with indoor lodging and camping available on site at the University's Lubrecht Experimental Forest. Attendees will leave with a tool kit of techniques to practice in offices, schools, and forests with individuals, families, and groups, all while gaining an understanding into the science behind Outdoor and Adventure-Based interventions.
This workshop will be based out of the Recreation Hall at the University of Montana's Lubrecht Forest--a beautiful 45 minute drive from the University alongside the Blackfoot River. Instruction will include outdoor activities upon permitting weather, requiring attendees to dress appropriately for early spring temperatures. For those choosing to stay the night, accommodations at the Lodge are available for an additional cost, and reservations can be made by visiting the website at https://www.cfc.umt.edu/lubrecht/lodging/lodge.php. Cell phone service is more reliable a couple minutes up the road. Please bring your meals, and we will provide the hot beverages. Don't forget your insulated mugs!
