Anasazi Foundation’s offices are located in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. We operate the program, however, in the beautiful Arizona wilderness.

After completing the therapeutic wilderness program, each family receives a comprehensive aftercare plan that includes monthly phone contact though our Alumni Services department and seven weeks of parent coaching calls, which review program intervention principles and allow parents to discuss their application in specific circumstances.

Anasazi is not a boot camp – it is a nature-based and confrontation-free program for youth. Participation in an Anasazi program requires personal responsibility and accountability; however, no force, contrived experiences, manipulation, confrontation, point or level systems, or other behavioral modification techniques or models are employed. Caring staff walk the trail with the same food and gear as the YoungWalkers and patiently wait for opportunities to teach. Through this accredited wilderness therapy program, they will teach skills and the principles of unconditional love, agency, repentance, forgiveness, and restitution.

Anasazi Foundation recognizes the difficulty parents face when seeking help for son or daughter in trouble. When parents’ efforts to intervene have had little or no effect, and home or community-based interventions have been unsuccessful, behavioral healthcare adventure therapy programs such as Anasazi can help save a young life.

Anasazi Foundation is a wilderness therapy program for youth at risk. The mission of Anasazi Foundation is to prepare parents and children to turn their hearts to one another, begin anew, and walk in harmony of the wilderness of the world.

The Anasazi Foundation offers outdoor therapy programs and behavioral healthcare programs designed for youth 12-17 years old. In addition to these programs, Anasazi offers intervention training for parents.

The Anasazi Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare Program is a wilderness treatment program designed for youth 12-17 years old who are struggling with depression, anxiety, family conflict, substance abuse, and/or other emotional or behavioral concerns.
