Wild Roots OEE
Community Interest Company (CIC)
Alternative Education Provision (AP)

We are a Community Interest Company (CIC), which means we are a social enterprise dedicated to benefiting the community. Unlike traditional businesses, our profits are reinvested into our mission, which is to enhance the wellbeing of young people through an alternative education program focused on outdoor environmental education and therapeutic interventions. Our program integrates the proven benefits of Outdoor Environmental Education (OEE) with evidence-based therapeutic interventions, designed to cultivate robust coping skills in young people. Drawing upon my Masters in OEE and closely collaborating with clinical psychologists, we have developed a unique Outdoor Wellbeing Award program. I am specifically trained to deliver and administer this award, leveraging specialist training from clinical psychologists and speech and language therapists. This multidisciplinary approach ensures a comprehensive and tailored support system for each young person. Our sessions are grounded in practical, experiential learning within natural environments, fostering emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and reflective practices. We utilise nature connection-based strategies such as grounding, breathing techniques, and mindfulness, all carefully selected to enhance connection with the environment and promote mental wellbeing. Moreover, ongoing clinical supervision from a multidisciplinary team ensures the continuous refinement and effectiveness of our therapeutic approach, further reinforcing our CIC's commitment to delivering high-quality, impactful services.
