Script: Hi I’m Derek Daley, co-founder of Legacy Outdoor Adventures for Men and Juniper Canyon Recovery Center for Women. Some of you may have heard about our Cityscape Adventure Series. Our mission is to bring together the public, mental health and addiction treatment programs, and professionals from around the world to experience first-hand the power of Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare, by which we mean staying connected to nature, community and adventure.
We’d like to take a moment to thank YOU, our peers and colleagues, for your work. Our services are vital for helping communities recover, including first responders, healthcare workers and those essential to fighting COVID-19. Whether you are a counselor, treatment professional, representative from a therapeutic program, a parent, a sponsor, a teacher or any other individual working to keep mental health a priority, we see you!
Now more than ever, mental healthcare is critical. The lasting impacts of a pandemic mean that more young people and their families need the help and support that our community of therapeutic professionals can provide. Your hard work and resiliency are appreciated!
The theme for this year’s Cityscape Adventure Series reminds us that incorporating meaningful nature-based activities enhances therapeutic effectiveness. Helping your clients access the outdoors reinforces recovery and overall success. Regardless of where your program or practice is located, we believe you can always find opportunities for adventure.
We all take for granted the fact that walking or hiking is good for our bodies, but what about the positive impact it has on our minds and our emotions? A growing body of research confirms that spending time outside has significant and wide-ranging health benefits-- both mental and physical.
In our professional lives and our personal lives, we’re all trying to do our part to practice responsible social distancing and other safety precautions. However, there are still ways to stay connected to nature and the outdoors. The 2020 National Cityscape sponsors want to invite you to join us in our mission this summer by taking part in the RX Off The Couch challenge.
Right now we’re missing spending time with one another at conferences, networking events, and meetings. While we’re looking forward to in person Cityscape Adventures when it’s safe to resume them, in the meantime let’s encourage one another to bring adventure and nature into our lives and our work at home!
Some of us don’t work in the wilderness. We may not have access to peaks and summits out our backdoor, but we can still find moments of mindfulness and serenity in nature. Maybe you spend time every day in the sun, or you’re working on a garden in your community. Share these moments with us!
Whether you’re taking a walk in the park with your family, hiking into the backcountry, or surfing on a beach, we want to see how you’re practicing RX Off The Couch in your personal or professional life. Your participation will help us to spread the message to our clients and the public: in addition to the therapeutic work we already do, getting outside will help everyone stay positive.
You can send submissions in the form of 30 second videos or photos to [email protected]. All those who contribute will get their own #RXoffthecouch shirt! But more importantly, for every video we receive we will be making a donation to OutdoorAfro and awesome community based organization that helps to uplift and empower black voices in the outdoor and adventure space.
We’ll compile submissions into a final video presentation which we will use to raise awareness about our movement. We want to encourage others to spend time connecting to nature or finding adventure. Feel free to get creative and invite your family, your neighbors or even your dog involved- we’re all in this together!
Again, we want to thank you all for your work in this field. As the world figures out how best to proceed, you are leading the fight by helping everyone stay mentally healthy and focused on recovery. Let’s promote wellness! Let’s join together and get off the couch this summer!
