For more than 20 years, he has worked across youth mental health, alcohol and other drugs, homelessness, and the justice sector. Passionate about helping young people who struggle to engage with traditional services, Andy pioneered an approach that combines evidence-based therapy with the restorative power of nature. He co-created the Recre8 program in 2008 and established Human Nature Adventure Therapy in 2015.
