Why do therapy outdoors?
Young people are spending more time indoors. The rates of loneliness, stress, mental illness, and physical deconditioning are on the increase.
Being in nature has so many benefits. At Succeed Healthcare Solutions, we skilfully use the natural environment to create learning opportunities for young people, whilst they foster relationships.
Daytime and night-time experiences allow young people to ‘go wild’ with their imagination. At the same time they can develop their independence, physical, sensory, cognitive and social skills.
What activities are covered?
Activities include:
- Water experiences by the dam
- Mud experiences
- Forest experiences
- Pool experiences
- Open field experiences
- Reading, storytelling and handwriting

Run for an hour per week with our Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, or Exercise Physiologist with visits from our Nutritionist.
Therapy assistants are available to generalise skills learnt during clubs to the everyday environment.
We are members of iNaturalist.
