Wilderness Therapy Just for Girls

In addition to the teen boys sexual specific treatment group, STAR Guides now offers a therapeutic wilderness expedition uniquely designed for young women struggling with sexual behaviors. STAR Guides in one of very few programs nationally with a specialty for treating teen girls struggling with sexual behavior problems. Often due to their own trauma and abuse, young women who exhibit a pattern of reckless or promiscuous sexual behavior are prime candidates for this program. Learning to live in a wilderness setting along with intensive therapy allows young women to begin to heal from past trauma and abuse that has resulted in their problematic sexual behaviors. Young women are able to repair their identity through developing competency rather than a reliance on sex.

Girls who experience sexual trauma or abuse are often at-risk for developing a variety of mental health and/or addiction issues during adolescence and young adulthood. Among these issues include:

Oppositional-Defiant

Depression

Bi-polar Disorder

Suicidal

Substance Abuse

Post Traumatic Stress
