Adventure Therapy Foundation

Adventure Therapy Foundation supports individuals and families impacted by cancer by addressing the emotional side effects often overlooked in traditional care. Through education, coaching, community building, and experiential programs, the organization helps people combat fear, isolation, and broken identity throughout the cancer journey. Their offerings include Kinship Groups for connection, the RISE virtual coaching program, retreats and events, a podcast, a book on emotional healing, and the Adventure Found newsletter, all designed to restore confidence, resilience, and a sense of self for anyone navigating life with or after cancer.
