The most impactful and life changing experience available for youth struggling with problematic sexual behaviors
Few behaviors can be as potentially devastating to a young person’s future as sexual offending. The ramifications carry long lasting negative consequences. For youth and young adults in this situation, STAR Guides delivers the most impactful, life-changing therapeutic experience available for sexual behavior problems. STAR guides provides a comprehensive assessment and treatment for youth and young adults who have committed or been accused of sexual offending behaviors in a remote wilderness venue, setting it apart from other more traditional forms of treatment.
Sexual Offenses Track
Because of the ease of access to explicit media and the potency of today’s pornography, many parents are faced with the difficult and uncomfortable task of addressing pornography use and sexual behavior problems by their children. Research suggests that most pornography and sexual addictions begin during adolescence. Unfortunately, most people don’t seek treatment until later in life when the problem has become more pervasive. STAR Guides navigates youth beyond these addictions while they are still young.
Sexual Compulsivity Track
STAR Guides offers a therapeutic wilderness expedition for young women struggling with sexual behaviors. Often due to their own trauma and abuse, young women who exhibit a pattern of wreckless or promiscuous sexual behavior are prime candidates for this program. Learning to live in a wilderness setting along with intensive therapy allows young women to begin to heal from past trauma and abuse that has resulted in their problematic sexual behaviors. Young women are able to repair their identity through developing competency rather than a reliance on sex.
