Our Clients
Elements works with adolescent boys between the ages of 13 and 17 as well as young adults of all genders (typically between 18 and 25 years). Each individual is their own person with their own experiences, perspectives, strengths, and challenges. While the foundation of our program remains the same, we are able to tailor our approach depending on what each person needs. Our clients could be struggling with a variety of emotional or behavioral issues such as, low self-esteem, mood dysregulation, anger and defiance, and poor relationships with friends & family. Many of our clients have begun to experiment with or abuse drugs or alcohol as a result of peer pressure or in an attempt to manage their own uncomfortable emotions. The people we work with will have a wide range of challenges and each person is different. They also have in common the ability to engage in therapy productively, form new, prosocial ways of dealing with life challenges, and enter healthy, independent adulthood.
Life of a Field Mentor
Our field office is centrally located in Utah, allowing staff to choose where they live based on their interests and needs. Like big city vibes with recreation opportunities out your back door like skiing, climbing, biking, hiking, etc? Salt Lake City offers world-class options! Want the sun and sky of desert living? Moab and St George are tucked up against some of the most famous national parks and are both rock climbers’ and mountain bikers’ dream! Grand Junction, Colorado is also within range, and many of our staff don’t limit themselves to a permanent location at all, choosing to live out of their vehicles and roam between adventures far and wide when not at work. Staff can live wherever they want, as long as they arrive to work on Tuesday at 9 am well rested and ready to go. We also provide a mentor bunkhouse, including a shower and small kitchen, that mentors may use at the beginning and end of each shift. Wherever you choose to live, the Elements community is tight knit and finding folks with whom to recreate or hang out during off time is always a possibility.
Company Culture
We’re a small company that focuses on supporting and developing the people that work here. Many of our field mentors come to their training week having no significant outdoor experience. Every individual has a unique perspective to offer and can learn how to live outside in the wilderness. Our team is, first and foremost, filled with people who care and people who want to grow and aid in the growth of others. You don’t need to come with years of outdoor experience or years of experience working in a therapeutic setting. As a team, we pride ourselves in being able to teach the skills necessary to do the job. As a Field Mentor, your coworkers and management team are focused on building you up and providing you with the space to succeed in the work that we do.
Elements is committed to fostering an inclusive environment for our employees and clients. We believe our programs will continue to grow as we foster a culture of equity and belonging.
