Student Safety

How safe will my teen be?

Alldredge Wilderness Journey provides experienced, trained professional counselors during the Search and Rescue (SAR) phase of the program. Each student’s personal security is our top priority. Our teams utilize GPS technology and satellite phones to maintain safety and communication.

Risk management of adolescents in any wilderness environment is critically important. Alldredge has a risk management plan that includes policies, procedures, equipment, and trained staff to minimize the risks inherent to teen programs that operate in a wilderness environment.

We have seven full-time, NASAR-certified Search and Rescue experts and a full-time registered nurse, as well as quick access to consulting physicians and professionals. Full-time wilderness staff members are all CPR and First Aid certified and are trained in Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI). Additionally, many staff members have multiple safety certifications, including:

• Wilderness First Responder
• Leave No Trace Trainer
• Ropes Course Builder
• Ropes Course Facilitator
• Tom Brown Tracking School
• Wilderness Education Association Certification
• ACA Whitewater Canoe Instructor
• ACA Whitewater Rafting Trainer
• ACA Swiftwater Rescue Technician
• Non-Violent Crisis Intervention
• Emergency Medical Technician

Professional emergency response services including helicopter Medivac units are readily accessible. We embrace the fiduciary duty to care for students as we would with our own children.

Alldredge is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and complies with the highest national standards for safety and quality of care. Achieving accreditation demonstrates Alldredge’s commitment to safety, quality care, and client-focused treatment.
