Preparing for your outdoor session
You don’t need to be a hiker to take part. Your provider can help shape the session around your comfort, mobility, and goals.
What to wear & bring
Wear comfortable shoes and layers suited to the weather. Consider water, sunscreen, bug spray, a jacket, a hat, or anything else that helps you feel comfortable outdoors.
A pace that works for you
Options include a flat 0.2-mile loop, a longer loop of about one mile, or sitting together on a picnic bench or lawn. You and your provider can decide what feels right.
Weather & session plans
Sessions may continue in typical Oregon weather, including rain. If heat, smoke, storms, or other conditions make meeting outdoors unsafe, your provider will contact you about switching to telehealth or cancelling.
