Internet gaming and social media provide challenges to many families. Simon Andrews from OK Psychology has partnered with Brenton Carle, Bachelor of Eco Tourism from Canoe the Coorong to provide a wilderness psychology program where parents and their children can experience a day completely without screens, in one of Australia’s most beautiful national parks.

Post-program follow-up sessions are available to help maintain new behaviours.

The program is also available at our North Adelaide and Tea Tree Gully offices.
