The Impact of Community Based Adventure Therapy on Stress and Coping Skills in Adults is a study on how the modality of adventure therapy affects a client’s coping skills and ability to manage stress. Adventure therapy teaches a client coping skills by engaging the client in multiple learning styles. Although adventure therapy is sometimes viewed as fun or play, this form of play builds coping skills, strengthens relationships, and increases a sense of belonging. Moreover, adventure therapy builds goal setting skills and motivation through various outdoor activities and obstacles. By providing the client with these coping skills, he or she can effectively use the skills as a strategy to manage stress.
