Neill who is an educational psychologist and professor at the University of Canberra. James’ expertise and interests lie in outdoor education, adventure therapy, green exercise, experiential education and more. James is a pioneer in his research with Outward Bound and other adventure therapy programs as they relate to life skills, mental health, and adjustment to health and medical conditions. James also has some incredible adventures on the high seas in his efforts to collect hard to get data on Outward Bound, a story he will share with us.  00:00:00 Intro & Welcome James T.
