Adventure therapy (AT) settings are diverse and range from school and community settings to outdoor wilderness and bush settings. However, due to the complex and diverse nature of AT, the specific practices associated with the facilitation of AT can be unclear and have been referred to as the black box. To shine light into at least one corner of the black box and understand the practices of AT facilitators, the current study explored the intentional facilitative practices of AT facilitators (i.e., social workers, psychologists, counselors, educators). These processes include: (1) Assess Point A (e.g., client history and current individual/group functioning), environmental conditions, and Point B (i.e., therapeutic goals); (2) Match interventions with the assessment of client and group needs; (3) Shape environmental conditions; (4) Facilitate the experience; and (5) Evaluate the process. Findings provide guidance for human service providers, such as social workers, as they seek to service the diverse needs of youth clients.

冒险治疗 (AT) 的环境多种多样，从学校和社区环境到户外荒野和丛林环境。然而，由于 AT 的复杂性和多样性，与促进 AT 相关的具体实践可能不清楚，并被称为黑匣子。为了至少照亮黑匣子的一角并了解 AT 促进者的实践，当前的研究探索了 AT 促进者（即社会工作者、心理学家、咨询师、教育工作者）的有意促进实践。这些过程包括： (1)评估A 点（例如，客户历史和当前个人/团体功能）、环境条件和 B 点（即治疗目标）； (2)将干预措施与客户和群体需求的评估相匹配； (3)塑造环境条件； (4)促进体验； (5)评估流程。研究结果为社会工作者等人类服务提供者提供了指导，帮助他们满足青年客户的多样化需求。
