LAKE TOXAWAY, N.C., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Trails Carolina, a leading wilderness therapy program for teens ages 10-17, has been helping adolescents struggling with the effects of COVID. The pandemic has had an immeasurable impact on the mental health of many, and Trails Carolina believes that their wilderness setting has been a healing place for teens needing support during these unprecedented times. Many of our students struggle with anxiety, says Jeniveve Rollins, LCSW, Clinical Director at Trails Carolina. During COVID-19, parents are reporting an increase in anxiety-related behaviors such as retreating and isolating. To some extent, we would expect to see such a rise during the pandemic as children search for comfort and a sense of security in unknown times.
