Through family bonding, adventure, play, and immersion in an accessible, barrier-free outdoor environment, Family Roots uses outdoor recreation and connection with the natural world to strengthen family systems and increase the well-being and resiliency of youth and their families.
In addition to participating in a range of nature-based activities and environmental stewardship initiatives, families expand their support networks and enhance self-esteem and social skills, while improving self-awareness and self-regulation skills. Outdoor activity days/weekends for participants are supported by a clinical counsellor from Human Nature Counselling Society, as well as Power To Be staff and volunteers.
