“We were looking to expand our partner program to include more hybrid treatment programs and Back2Basics fits that description perfectly,” she said.
Sky’s the Limit Fund provides financial assistance to adolescents and young adults in need of outdoor wilderness therapy and nature-based therapy programs. They will provide financial assistance to qualified applicants to attend Back2Basics for treatment while Back2Basics will provide the same residents with a reduced fee to enter the outdoor adventure therapy.
Sky’s the Limit Fund Executive Director Mary Davidson said B2B was an excellent addition to the partner program, stating that B2B’s use of wilderness therapy and traditional health treatments made them the perfect fit.
“We were looking to expand our partner program to include more hybrid treatment programs and Back2Basics fits that description perfectly,” she said. “They are a welcome addition to our partner program and working together will provide much-needed financial help to people in need of wilderness therapy.”
Our team at Back2Basics was very familiar with the great work the fund does and we jumped at the chance to partner with them and reach more families. Addressing the affordability issue of treatment is a top priority for both of our organizations.
Sky’s the Limit Fund knows the importance of programs such as Back2Basics. The program was co-founded by Rochelle Bochner and Lani Dorff in 2010 after Bochner’s son successfully completed a wilderness therapy program. They understand the effectiveness of these programs and the fund’s familiarity with our industry made them a compelling partner for B2B to work with. We are honored to work with such a passionate organization.
In addition to helping some residents pay for treatment at Back2Basics, the Sky’s the Limit Fund will also provide recipients with post-treatment coaching sessions to help residents adjust to life after leaving the program.
“The initial period after treatment is one of the most crucial times for someone who went through a program,” Davidson said. “These coaching sessions ensure that someone is there to help through the entire post-treatment process.” FBN
