"Grief is what remains when our connection is no longer present in the way it once was. It is the echo of the emotional bond between our heart, our safety, our being and our loss.

PIVOTPoint WNC is proud to partner with Four Seasons Foundation as they support increased access and individualized grief services throughout our communities. We are honored to be recognized by Four Seasons for our healing work: guiding small therapeutic wilderness experiences for young adults and older individuals who are at risk of and recovering from life with substance use disorder.

As we focus on emotional regulation skills, interpersonal skills and resiliency cultivation, we know that each person's process is deeply personal and unique. The same is true for grief. We are united with Four Seasons Foundation in our mission to ensure that no person needs to go through these difficult and painful processes alone."

-Matthew Nannis, Executive Director of PIVOTPoint WNC

PIVOTPoint WNC incorporates mindfulness practices as well as therapeutic adventure modalities in a natural environment. Participants explore multiple access points of self-awareness, self-regulation, positive self-esteem development, self- efficacy, and overall pro-social behavior. Through safe, supportive challenging of client-conceived limitations; the processing of expectations; and group dynamic cultivation; our work promotes growth. The mindfulness component strengthens executive functioning, while also promoting neuroregulation – or the calming of nervous systems that have been negatively impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). This enhances self-regulation and stress tolerance capacities, increasing the capacity of participants to engage in healthier relationships, engage in effective conflict resolution and also improved interpersonal decision making.
