About Us

Mission

The mission of UBA is to provide all children, youth, and their families living in urban communities with an array of comprehensive trauma-sensitive treatment programs using the local, natural and outdoor environment to improve overall health and mental health.

Philosophy

The outdoors are accessible and available for everyone to enjoy freely, imaginatively and therapeutically, unencumbered and without interference, to heal and to pursue an overall sense of health and well-being.

 

“Our goal is simple — use the local, natural and outdoor environment to help children, youth and their families heal after trauma.”

— Dr. Clifton Hicks
