500 Retreats!

What a tribute to the thousands of volunteers, donors, sponsors, facilities and healthcare supporters who have helped us on this amazing journey. Most of all, we salute the 5,000+ men who have shared their stories, opened their hearts, inspired us deeply and added their names to the lasting legacy that is the Reel Recovery community. Be Well! Fish On!

Newly Published Academic Study

shows the impact of Reel Recovery Retreats!

So many of us have seen first-hand the powerful impact our Retreats have on our participants; now we have hard data that proves it! Researchers from Deakin University in Melbourne found that our Retreats provide:

• "a restorative escape and immersion in nature";
• "growth, empowerment and a sense of achievement";
• "improved wellbeing through time in nature, peer support, learning a new skill and social connections";
• "a new perspective, sense of shared joy and a deeply meaningful experience"

And much more! The complete paper is available here.

We are so grateful to the researchers, who spent close to 3 years compiling, analyzing and reporting on their findings.
