DELHUNTIE'S PROGRAMS


BUSTIN THE CHAINS (Motivation & Self-Worth)
An adventure therapy and team work program that can be run from one day to a week.

With this category of clients, accommodation, meals, and programs in the lodge, eg motivational talks, outdoor initiatives and high ropes adventure activities are used. The program offers team building, personal development and conflict resolution achieved through adventure-based learning. We find that youth often take the easy way out of a challenging situation, so we strongly encourage clients to make hard decisions, which we then reward them for. This program attracts clients who need support and are often 'low achievers'. During the program youth are taught principles of life that they can then incorporate in a physical way during the activities developing such characteristics as teamwork, resilience, harmony, courage, and restoring the spirit in those who have given up on themselves.

The society we have created has removed many of the physical challenges of survival that existed in the past. Adventure based learning provides unique physical and mental challenges that help participants overcome self-imposed, environmental and inherited barriers. This allows clients to reveal qualities and gifts that are not normally identified and recognized-as most people are over entertained and under challenged.

W.A.S.P. - Wilderness Adventure Survival Program

WASP is a wilderness-based program encompassing the elements of nature, adventure, and teamwork to promote personal growth and the development of life skills. We take youth into the wilderness to face challenges and learn lessons in an environment far from the distractions of the city Help and guidance is offered by loving staff to help youth amend their negative ways of living. Our hiking, mountain bike riding, rafting, abseiling, climbing and solo survival demonstrates to the youth just how strong they really are and the great strengths that can be attained with the support of others.

WASP presents a holistic personal experience - mental, physical, spiritual and emotional. As part of this program, youth at risk are challenged to make positive choices in life that will lead them to aim high in life. Life principles are taught to the youth to help them cope when they are faced with obstacles in life. WASP challenges youth to step out of their comfort zones and experience personal growth. WASP is also used as a way of screening for our residential participants.

MAD TRAX -(Anger Management)
Anger: to harbour strong feelings of displeasure and indignation

This is primarily a tactile and physical course that allows anger to be recognised, released and controlled. This program helps people discover the true source of their anger and then helps them let go of it in a demonstrative way that does not hurt others (like demolishing a car). Delhuntie staff work as a team with our participants on a physically demanding task in a very different environment, such as in our tree top tour high ropes course, to help recognize and identify their source of anger.

This "accelerated conflict" quickly breaks down barriers and allows the truth to surface about their negative emotions. We guide our participants through a path of personal discovery so they can acknowledge their deep set and hidden source of anger, and then help them to free themselves of its burden with a number of symbolic activities. Our methods are undertaken in a controlled way and are often loud and explosive for anything less would not represent the great pains they are removing.

Delhuntie Park's aims and objectives are that these and all clients leave our program with a higher level of their self-worth and greater peace in their minds.

CORPORATE AND PROFESSIONAL

We utilise the "Crocodiles not Waterlilies" Program as a seamless philosophy and practical training system that utilises a unique memory anchor system that generates profound and long-term change. This simple yet powerful program produces motivated staff, greatly improved teamwork, individual growth and responsibility, and a never give up attitude. We have had groups returning to us after 5 years that retain and use the key points of this training system. The program has demonstrated proven results in a remarkably short time.

RESIDENTIAL CRISIS PROGRAMS

This is an intensive live in program whereby the participant is removed from the negative environment that has caused the crisis and is placed in a controlled environment at Delhuntie Park. The program uses nutrition, adventure therapy, skills training, and counselling to develop the mind, body and soul in each client. The participants are progressively given the opportunity to take on responsibilities and are encouraged to make their own decisions in a supportive and nurturing environment to help prepare them for returning to the "real world". A vegetarian diet is followed at Delhuntie that excludes the use of all intoxicants. If the participant has a high level of acidity or toxins in their system hydrotherapy and massage treatments are also utilised. This alone has greatly improved mood and mental processes.

Basic life principles are taught to each client, which remain in their minds for future reference for positive decision-making. Delhuntie Park is also used as an ongoing support centre, where rehabilitated youth drop in or use the Park as a reference point when the going gets tough.
