In some families, parents find themselves unable to enter helpful conversations with a son or daughter. Attempts to talk about concerns result in a conversation of blame through words or silence. The times for teaching and learning together are few and far between, if not at all. For these families, we offer an opportunity to significantly improve their relationship through a “walking” in the wilderness.

The ANASAZI Way is a way of “walking” in the wilderness and in life. Commencing in 1968, Larry D. Olsen and Ezekiel C. Sanchez gleaned and developed the ANASAZI Way from years of trial, error, and experience walking in nature with thousands of young people. They attribute their learning and awakenings to the Creator, their families, perceptive YoungWalkers, discerning parents, and their associates at ANASAZI.

ANASAZI is not a boot camp. There is no force, manipulation or confrontation. Caring staff walk the trail with the same food and gear as the YoungWalkers and patiently wait for opportunities to teach. When the time is right they will teach skills and the principles of unconditional love, agency, repentance, forgiveness, and restitution. - Help for Parents

The psychological component addresses the intra-psychic processes of affect regulation and cognition. ANASAZI endorses a positive psychology approach to intervention, instilling confidence and hope and believing that youth are capable of insight and voluntarily deciding to make needed changes that will improve the quality of their lives. Our therapists, called “Shadows” at ANASAZI, are trained in the most current empirically-based, systems-oriented treatment models that harmonize with a positive psychology perspective, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotion-focused Family Therapy. Therapists receive ongoing training and supervision from a licensed psychologist, a licensed marriage and family therapist and a licensed clinical social worker. Program curriculum and therapy also take into consideration the unique gender-sensitive needs of young men and women.
