1) WinGate was an accredited program until only this year. It is likely the horrific assault occurred while accredited. Why this was omitted from the article but mentioning the program is currently not unaccredited is worrying.
2) The article mentions that accredited #WildernessTherapy programs achieve 424% better outcomes than "treatment as usual" [aka anything but wilderness]. The problems with this study are endless and no #therapy is 424% more effective than doing absolutely nothing.
