REVIVE (CHRISTCHURCH)
ABOUT REVIVE
AN ADVENTURE THERAPY DAY PROGRAMME FOR CLIENTS OF ACC’S SENSITIVE CLAIMS SERVICE IN CHRISTCHURCH
Are you wanting to develop confidence in new places with new people? Rediscover your strengths and reconnect with your body? Laugh, have fun, feel alive?
Adventure Specialties Trust and Visser and Associates are offering a Trauma-Responsive Adventure Therapy Programme for ACC’s SCS clients based in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
We meet up one day a week over 8 weeks (during the school term) and head out together in a small group to spend time outside doing a beginner-friendly, gentle outdoor activity (like bush walking, kayaking, biking) as well as some time built in for reflection and group discussions where the focus is on wellbeing and healing.
If this sounds good to you, consider joining our REVIVE programme…
Revive (Christchurch)
KAUPAPA / PURPOSE
Revive is a trauma-responsive programme for clients of ACC’s Sensitive Claims Service (SCS).
The kaupapa/purpose of Revive is:
- To support individuals in a journey of restoring wellbeing after trauma,
- To help you feel hopeful and positive about the steps you can take towards living a full life,
- To find ways to reduce the symptoms and challenges that come with PTSD,
- To enjoy being in nature through activities and experiences in Ōtautahi Christchurch (these will be active and will range in their level of challenge),
- To discuss aspects of life and wellbeing in an open, safe and supportive environment,
- To connect with others in the group.
Who is this for?
WHO IS THIS FOR?
A group of eight people (the same gender as you) meeting together to go on a different gentle adventurous activity once a week over eight weeks. The activities will be in different locations in/around Christchurch. The activities could include sea kayaking, rock climbing, bush walking, surfing, high ropes, or mountain biking. Each activity has easier and harder challenges available. All specialist equipment and lunch is provided.
Transport is provided, but you are welcome to meet us there!
The two facilitators will bring the group together at the start and end of each day. There will be chance to connect with each other and also discuss a thought or theme each day that the facilitators will prepare.
REQUIREMENTS
Revive is open to people who are clients in ACC’s Sensitive Claims Service (SCS).
You must be in regular counselling/therapy with an SCS Lead Provider, with a Support to Wellbeing Plan in place. Your Lead Provider will have helped you to establish goals for therapy, and you are looking for a safe supportive environment to practice and develop these skills.

ADVENTURE SPECIALTIES TRUST

VISSER & ASSOCIATES
For the Revive (Christchurch) programme, we have partnered with Visser & Associates, a social services provider in Christchurch who provide ACC services to assist in healing and recovery from the experience of trauma. Read more about Visser & Associates.
Our Approach
WE FOCUS ON YOUR STRENGTHS
Our conversations and facilitated discussion in this programme are guided by the model of ‘Solution-Focused Brief Therapy’. Contrary to what the name suggests this is not about the facilitators offering ‘solutions’.
It is more about a model of thinking that is more forward focused – on where you want to go and the skills and strengths you have to get you there.
We don’t go delving into people’s deep personal past or analysing problems. We focus on movement towards your goals, whatever that might be.
GROUP VS INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
This service is designed as a group programme, however there will also be some individual support.
You will meet individually with one of our facilitators prior to starting the programme to get to know each other, we can understand your hopes and goals for the programme, and you can ask any questions you have about the programme.
We aim to work collaboratively with your Lead Provider, so that together we can ensure that this programme is helpful for you.
CHALLENGE BY CHOICE
Gentle challenge is definitely a part of our programme, and each activity or environment will challenge
everyone in a different way.
Our activities are designed to remind you that you have choices, allow you to make a choice that is right for you, tolerate the emotions that come with this, and regain some confidence in your body. For some, this will mean not going very high on a climb, or very far on your bike, and you would rather enjoy the nature. That is okay, and we will make practicable efforts to allow as much choice in this as possible.
We always try to make choices available and make it really clear where choices are not practically possible.
A FOCUS ON NATURE CONNECTION
This programme is an opportunity to take more time in the day to connect with nature rather than just move through it. We look for opportunities to experience joy, awe, wonder, and curiosity about our world and our place in it.
On a daily basis we will go to a different environment and do an activity there. We may also do some
activities specifically to connect with nature – maybe a mindfulness walk, or doing some art pieces/sculptures with nature, or any other ways of connecting in a relationship with nature.
SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
First and foremost, it is a priority that that this group is a safe and supportive environment for all people.
Obviously in outdoor activities the physical safety is important! We have qualified instructors and a safety management system that is audited and registered with Worksafe NZ, and we need people to follow our safety rules.
‘Safe’ also means emotional safety – this means we take time to build a culture where sharing is ok and
encouraged by others. Where respect is really important and intentionally built upon on the group. It also means the safety to be yourself no matter which culture, gender, sexuality, profession, age or personality you have.
We put significant time and energy into building a group environment with healthy dynamics and healthy relationships.

QUESTIONS?
If you would like to talk to someone before you start the enrolment process, please see the Contact Us section below.
What do our previous participants say?
“Getting out and enjoying nature and the company of others.”
“A chance to better understand myself and others.”
“Amazing – it was incredible. I learned so much about myself. I grew so much. I discovered a couple of new passions that I didn’t know I have.”
“[The instructors] took you at your level. Do you know what I mean? They didn’t push you. There were a few things I couldn’t do. They knew I attempted it, but they didn’t push you. If you went in sad, they understood. You know, if you wanted to talk to them, you could. It was just like a lot of encouragement.”
“The whole course was amazing and life-changing but a lot of hard work too.”
“It gave me the courage really to make changes in terms of my recovery and what I’m needing and to make sure they’re in place for me. Whereas I think prior, I would have just kept doing the same thing.”
“The connection to nature, I definitely really enjoyed too. And more spiritual, I suppose. And that connection to nature, I feel that through my whakapapa. So, yeah, absolutely, it was just nice to be able to affirm that.”
“Possibly the biggest change is that I have this feeling of hope that I didn’t have before.”
“Absolutely – it’s pushed me to the next stage of where I’m going – the core stuff. I’m grateful for that.”
“I really needed this. I guess you could say it’s life-changing. It’s not new, but it is new. It’s confirmation that I’m on the right path. It’s awesome that ACC are funding this. It’s so much better than the experience I have had with health insurance.”
“It was everything I hoped it would be and more. So perspective-changing.”

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES
A Focus on Wellbeing
At Adventure Specialties Trust, all of our programmes focus on hauora/wellbeing.
We define wellbeing as a holistic state where we can thrive physically, mentally, socially, spiritually and in relation to the land and the natural environment. It's about having the energy to engage full in life, with the mindset to navigate challenges and celebrate successes. We have strong connections with others, a clear sense of identity and purpose, and a deep relationship with nature.
Wellbeing is the foundation for living a meaningful and balanced life.
Wellbeing Framework
When we are designing our programmes, we use a wellbeing framework based on Te Whare Tapa Whā (the house with four walls).
Te Whare Tapa Whā is a Māori model of holistic health developed by Sir Mason Durie, a renowned psychiatrist, professor of Māori Studies and advocate of Māori hauora/wellbeing.
Each of the four walls of Te Whare Tapa Whā (described below) is an important part of hauora/wellbeing. At Adventure Specialties Trust, we weave these wellbeing 'walls' into our programmes in a variety of ways.
TE WHARE TAPA WHĀ
TAHA TINANA / Physical Wellbeing
Our Taha Tinana allows us to feel healthy, energetic, motivated, and physically capable of pursuing activities that bring joy, connection, and satisfaction to our days.
HOW THIS LOOKS IN THE OUTDOORS:
Outdoor activities challenge and strengthen our bodies, promoting fitness, resilience and confidence. Physical movement, especially outdoors in nature, supports overall health, wellbeing and energy levels.
TAHA WHĀNAU / Social Wellbeing
Taha Whānau is about feeling a sense of belonging, connection and confidence in our relationships with others. It includes a belief that people can be kind, trustworthy and safe, as well as the ability to work collaboratively with others.
HOW THIS LOOKS IN THE OUTDOORS:
Adventure builds teamwork, trust and belonging. Shared challenges strengthen relationships and provide a supportive space for growth, healing and connection.
TAHA HINENGARO / Mental and Emotional Wellbeing
Our Taha Hinengaro allows us to feel balanced, hopeful, and positive about the future, with the capacity to navigate life’s challenges and celebrate its joys while nurturing a sense of self-compassion and self-worth.
HOW THIS LOOKS IN THE OUTDOORS:
Time in nature reduces stress and enhances mental clarity, emotional resilience and self-awareness. Adventure activities encourage participants to challenge themselves which helps them develop courage and self-confidence.
TAHA WAIRUA / Spiritual Wellbeing
Taha Wairua is about feeling a strong sense of self, identity, and connection to our faith, beliefs, culture, values, and purpose. It provides a foundation of meaning and direction.
HOW THIS LOOKS IN THE OUTDOORS:
Being outdoors in nature fosters a sense of wonder, connection and purpose. Outdoor experiences deepen spiritual awareness, whether through faith, nature or personal reflection.
TE WHENUA / The Land
Te Whenua is the foundation of Te Whare Tapa Whā. Connection to Te Whenua is about a sense of belonging in te taiao, the natural world, and drawing on that connection to support our wellbeing. It includes experiencing awe and wonder in natural spaces, fostering a sense of responsibility to protect and care for the Earth.
Programme Outcomes
How do we know if we have had a positive impact on our participants?
At the end of our programmes, we ask participants to fill in an 'Outcomes Evaluation' form, so that we can measure the impact of our programme on their hauora/wellbeing. At the end of each year, we analyse the results to see where participants have experienced personal growth, and where we can improve our services to support them better.
Read our annual Impact reports to see the stats and read about the positive impact that our programmes have on the participants.

SAMPLE LETTER:
I am writing to request approval for (YOUR CLIENT)’s participation in the ‘Revive’ Trauma-
Responsive Adventure Therapy Group Programme, 32 hours, over eight weeks.
Facilitated by Adventure Specialties Trust, this programme is a therapeutic approach adjunct to the regular counselling that my client has with me as their Lead Provider as part of the support to wellbeing stage of therapy.
(Client’s Name) and I believe that this outdoor based group therapy will provide her/him/them with an opportunity to make progress towards their therapeutic goals. The Adventure Therapy Programme will complement our talk therapy by incorporating components from Eco-therapy, Somatic, Movement and Body based therapies. The group setting is particularly useful for participants to learn from each other and hear other perspectives on recovery.
‘Revive’ will allow them to have positive experiences in order to gain a more positive relationship with their body. To build peer connections in a small group, and experience a sense of belonging and connectedness. To practice using regulating and self-soothing skills in order to reduce intrusive symptoms. To grow their sense of empowerment, self-awareness and self-worth. To build confidence going to new places with new people, and to engage more in their local communities. To engage with the playful and curious side of themselves and feel a greater sense of hope for their future.
This programme will specifically support my client’s own goals in the following ways:

How Effective is Revive?
Evaluation by an independent research organisation
Our REVIVE pilot programme was evaluated by Social Research and Evaluation, an external research organisation.
They evaluated things like:
- The overall impact of the REVIVE programme on our participants (using data from psychometric testing, feedback questionnaires, interviews with participants and interviews with the “lead providers” i.e. the counsellors, therapists, psychologists who were referring the participants to REVIVE),
- The feedback from the REVIVE participants (pre- and post-programme outcomes forms) to understand how participants experienced the programme, what motivated them to attend, the goals they had in relation to the programme,
- The cultural, physical, psychological, spiritual safety of the REVIVE programme.
A Summary of their Findings
- REVIVE participants (who took part in the evaluation) expressed high levels of satisfaction with, and enjoyment of, the programme,
- The group setting felt safe,
- They experienced a sense of being in control of their personal experience and participation,
- They enjoyed experiencing new places and new experiences,
- REVIVE was a way that the participants could get out of the house, feel less isolated, feel safe in a group setting, and be active,
- REVIVE was also a way for them to practise the skills/strategies that they were learning in therapy, in a real-world setting,
- The participants said that their personal goals were largely met (for example: engaging in the community, being more active, successfully operating in a group setting, putting therapy knowledge into practice),
- The majority of participants appeared to gain skills and strategies to help regulate emotions and cope with stress. They reported that they were using these skills during the REVIVE programme and also outside the programme.
- Their Lead Providers (therapists, counsellors, etc.) saw evidence of a positive shift in confidence and self-awareness – regarding their bodies, their mood and energy levels, and feeling less alone in their experiences.
- There was strong evidence of positive impacts of the programme in terms of ACC’s priorities of enhanced self-regulation skills and decreased avoidance.
Participants experienced a range of postive impacts, including:
- Increased self-confidence,
- Growth in self-awareness,
- Stronger feelings of social connection,
- Enhanced capacity for mindfulness,
- A sense of pride in their achievements,
- Reductions in stress and numbness,
- Enhanced mood, and
- Greater feelings of hope.
Sample sizes were small, but statistically significant results were observed for the following constructs:
- A positive shift in life satisfaction and general disability score,
- A positive shift in the domains of ‘Getting along with people‘ and ‘Life activities‘,
- A positive shift in awareness of character strengths, sense of achievement, confidence going into new groups of people, self-compassion and comfort working in a team environment.
