All Kinds of Therapy sent out its first anonymous survey to the Family Choice Behavioral Healthcare industry, to gain a sense of the funnel during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 11 questions inquired about enrollment for March-May 2019 vs. 2020. One-third of the recipients of the survey responded. Response breakdown was 10 wilderness therapy programs, 21 residential treatment programs (of all levels of care) who serve under 18  clients, 17 residential treatment programs (of all levels of care) who serve clients over 18 and 14 referrals to the industry that include either therapeutic consultants or interventionists. There was one respondent who chose not to disclose.

The month with the greatest decrease was May 2020 vs. May 2019 with an overall decrease of 8% in enrollment and a 23% decrease in inquiries.
April 2019 vs. 2020
– Inquiry = 15% decrease
– Enrollment = 4.5% decrease

March 2019 vs. 2020
– Inquiry = 5% increase
– Enrollment = 4.5% increase

The final question of the survey was to share your pandemic song for this Spotify mix that was compiled by Carrie Thompson of Bridge House (UT). The data was aggregated by Ryan Walton of New Vision Wilderness Deschutes (OR). Thank you for those who participated.

If anyone would like to have a conversation with Jenney Wilder, M.S.Ed. about the content of the survey, how it was done or why it was done, please call or text at 202-630-2563.  Thank you for all who responded to the survey last week.
