When a participant goes missing during a wilderness therapy program, every minute counts. This **Wilderness Therapy Missing Participant Critical Alert Form** is designed specifically for outdoor behavioral health programs to quickly capture and communicate critical information to search and rescue teams, emergency services, and key stakeholders.

Wilderness therapy programs face unique challenges when managing participant safety across remote backcountry locations. This template streamlines the emergency reporting process by collecting essential details including participant demographics, medical conditions, survival skills assessment, known route information, last known location coordinates, and immediate search coordination needs.

**Built for the unique needs of wilderness therapy operations**, this form includes specialized fields for treatment plan context, behavioral health considerations, participant capabilities, equipment carried, and environmental factors that search teams need to know. The structured format ensures no critical detail is overlooked during high-stress emergency situations.

Paperform's conditional logic helps guide staff through the reporting process based on participant risk level and program type, while immediate email notifications can alert your emergency response team, medical director, and designated search and rescue contacts simultaneously. With mobile-responsive design, field staff can submit reports directly from remote locations using satellite devices or when they reach cellular coverage.

For wilderness therapy programs managing multiple expeditions, this form integrates seamlessly with your incident management workflows through Stepper (stepper.io), automatically routing alerts to the appropriate response teams and maintaining detailed documentation for regulatory compliance and organizational learning.

Whether you're running therapeutic wilderness expeditions, outdoor behavioral health programs, or adventure therapy camps, this critical alert form helps your team respond swiftly and comprehensively when a participant goes missing, ensuring search and rescue operations have every piece of information needed to bring them home safely.
