Neill who is an educational psychologist and professor at the University of Canberra. James’ expertise and interests lie in outdoor education, adventure therapy, green exercise, experiential education and more. James is a pioneer in his research with Outward Bound and other adventure therapy programs as they relate to life skills, mental health, and adjustment to health and medical conditions.
