Do you remember the feeling of freedom when you learned to ride a bike as a
child? Research shows individuals with a mental health diagnosis encounter many barriers as they transition into adulthood. In this module, we will explore a bicycling program implemented as a therapeutic intervention in a child and adolescent behavioral health hospital.
Upon completion of the module, participants will be able to:
1. Identify 2 barriers transition-aged individuals with a mental health diagnosis are at
risk of experiencing
2. Identify 3 benefits of bicycling for individuals with a mental health diagnosis
3. identify the correlation of leisure interests and life skills
