Program Description

At SUWS of the Carolinas, our unique clinical treatment approach has proven to be highly effective in helping students identify their limiting emotional beliefs and destructive behavioral habits. This newfound awareness enables students to shift their focus from personal entitlement and blaming to mastering personal responsibility and practicing healthy relationship skills.

The wilderness setting functions as the catalyst that allows us to connect with students. SUWS of the Carolinas moves children from their "emotional comfort zone" by shifting them to a new and challenging environment. The demands of mastering their new setting causes students to engage in their automatic behavioral habits, allowing our therapists and highly trained counselors to positively engage them using traditional therapeutic methods.

Treatment, not hiking or survival skills, is the primary focus at SUWS of the Carolinas. Students progress through a sophisticated level system designed to assist them in mastering age appropriate developmental goals.

Treatment is most successful when an individualized approach is employed. Therefore, each child's length of stay and therapeutic assignments are personalized to address individual needs. Parents, referring professionals, and SUWS therapists review progress, emotional issues, and length of stay during weekly treatment planning sessions.
