Although the relevance of nature and adventure-based intervention (NABI) is increasingly recognized in the scientific literature, its challenges and benefits in family intervention remain poorly documented (Liermann and Norton, 2016; Tucker et al., 2016). Yet, NABIs provide a supportive context for the development of family bonds because of interactions required by adaptation to the natural environment, and the opportunity for the challenge (Overholt, 2014). Thus, this article suggests an exploratory review of studies on family intervention in the context of NABI. The nine studies selected provide an overview of different programs and their impact on youth and families. A discussion then highlights elements specific to NABI’s that can be applied to family intervention, as well as the associated social work challenges. In conclusion, new avenues for research and intervention are identified.
