Skowhegan Outdoors is offering a free Adventure Wellness Retreat to Maine veterans. This retreat is an opportunity for veterans who have struggled or are currently struggling with mental health, or adjustment issues since transitioning to the civilian sector, and have an interest in mountain biking and finding camaraderie in the Maine outdoors.
Through extreme sports like mountain biking, brain pathways can be rewired. The focus required of us while performing high intensity sports trains our brain under healthy stress resulting in healthier stress responses. This remedy, in addition to community support, has been proven to help people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
If registration is full and you're interested in attending, please email marissa@mainstreetskowhegan.org to be added to the Waitlist.
