Misrepresentation

"The Outdoor Behavioral Health Council was formed to provide an industry oversight body. They merged with the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs in December 2024."

NATSAP is not a regulatory body, it's a trade industry special interest and lobbying group, whose board members consist almost entirely of owners of various TTI facilities.

There are tons of other problems here, this article is rife with misrepresentations, (likely intentional) confusion and conflation with programs and research not on forced "troubled teen" wilderness "therapy" programs but rather consensual outdoor education or actual therapy practices, and conflating them as being the same. ~2025-33413-15 (talk) 13:43, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
