Thank you to all who attended Family Days on the South young adult campus. The family's therapeutic progress is vital and at the heart of the Telos philosophy. The Family Days curriculum includes gaining essential communication techniques, an awareness of how your child processes information, strengthening relationships, and establishing boundaries within this safer environment. As your student travels along the Telos journey, we hope you will feel more able to help and support them. We look forward to continuing the journey with you.

Into the Field, Into Themselves: The Life-Changing Impact of Wilderness Therapy
Welcome back, mental health enthusiasts. In this episode of the Telos Ultimate Potential podcast, we sit down with Dr. Will White, founder of Stories from the Field, to explore the powerful connection between mental health and outdoor therapy. With more than 30 years of experience in wilderness therapy and experiential mental health treatment, Will shares firsthand stories from the field that highlight how nature-based interventions help adolescents and young adults build resilience, emotional regulation, and personal responsibility. The conversation examines the evolution of wilderness therapy programs, the science and outcomes behind outdoor mental health care, and why experiential approaches remain some of the most effective tools for treating anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges.

Chess isn’t just a game—it’s a workout for the brain.
This week, students have been gathering for matches that strengthen executive functioning, strategy, and planning ahead. Each move requires patience, foresight, and emotional regulation, all skills that translate far beyond the board.
And while the competition is real, it’s also healthy. Students challenge one another, learn from mistakes, celebrate wins, and pick themselves up after losses.
It’s a simple game with powerful benefits—and it’s been great to see so many students leaning in, thinking deeply, and enjoying the process.
