We funded therapy treks for Aboriginal youth 13-18 years who live in foster or out of home care and as a result of trauma have behavioural issues. While on the nine-day Treks accompanied by youth workers and a psychologist they learn traditional bush skills from aboriginal elders, are taught social interaction skills by therapists and receive intensive counselling. The Treks are preventive by identifying problems and providing solutions before entrenched anti-social or harmful behaviour such as involvement in serious crime or drug or alcohol dependence develops. Reported outcomes include increases in psychological resilience, improved team participation, increased engagement with education and positive changes in attitude.
