Friends of the Centre

Our Friends

The Outdoor Therapy Centre for Research and Practice was established by Dr Will Dobud in 2023 with the mission to build a community of outdoor therapy practice among practitioners and researchers. The outdoor therapy community is close-knit and everyone has a voice and perspective worthy of sharing. The centre is an opportunity to showcase our field's unique talent.

Become a Friend of the Outdoor Therapy Centre

Friends of the Outdoor Therapy Centre are those contributing to the outdoor therapy centre's research philosophy, providing accessible supervision and consultation, working to promote human rights in practice, and delivering affordable training opportunities for practitioners both new and seasoned to work in the field.

There are no rules to becoming a friend of the centre and no price to be paid.

​After all, our friends are not our business! All we ask is for a commitment to growing the diverse practice of outdoor therapy through engaging with the community and providing affordable and accessible support for those interested in helping. 

If you want to collaborate and become friends, contact us today.
