Surf Therapy
Surf Therapy supports children from stressed environments to develop meaningful social connections, experience respite from difficult thoughts or feelings, and adopt healthy behaviours to cope with stress.

What is it?
Waves for Change has developed an innovative, evidence based model that fuses the rush of surfing with mind-body therapy, for children and young people who are exposed to high levels of trauma, violence and adversity.

Who is this for?
Children and young people, exposed to repeat trauma and adversity, who feel negatively about themselves and are unable to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings.

Benefits of Surf Therapy
Surf Therapy combines the positive health benefits of surfing and physical activity with activities proven to help young people build protective relationships, identify emotions, self soothe and build a positive vision of their future.
