HEALTHY BODIES, HEALTHY MINDS
Exercise as a central component of treatment has taken many forms in Northwest Passage’s programs over the past 45+ years, from formalized vigorous multi-week training programs preparing residents for wilderness adventures to 2-minute “move and shake” sessions in the classrooms. There is a large body of evidence that points to the benefits of exercise and movement in the promotion of both mental health and cognition. At Northwest Passage, we strive to stay abreast of the rapidly changing field of movement and exercise as they apply to total brain and body health.
“A healthy understanding of the role that movement plays in our day to day lives is critical to sustaining positive mental health. Exercise comes in many forms.”
