Bio from Nevinharper.com- For more than 25 years I have traversed front-lines through management, training and consulting, research, and education in the outdoor adventure and social service sectors. My work is focused on ethical and effective practice and I offer my services to organizations and leaders who want to improve, learn, and grow with their programs. I continue to learn and develop as a practitioner of outdoor therapies and continue teaching in child and youth care and counselor training at the University of Victoria.
