Our Program
Brookwood’s Program is a comprehensive approach designed to empower and transform the lives of the young women we serve. Our program is structured around key pillars. Each component is tailored to meet the individual needs of our clients, ensuring they receive the holistic support necessary for their growth and success.
Each participant is assigned to a counselor for their journey at Brookwood. They receive individual and group sessions. Family counseling is provided is recommended, but level of involvement varies depending on individual needs. The counselor is also available during the day if they just need someone to talk to or are experiencing a crisis.
Every participant starts with a tentative treatment plan that consists of adjustment, building rapport, becoming familiar with expectations, and identifying therapeutic goals. The client and counselor will work together to create their formal treatment plan focused on the areas that they would like to improve.
Treatment goals often consist of decreasing symptoms of depression, improving self esteem, developing coping skills, decreasing symptoms of anxiety, and stabilizing mood. We have a psychiatrist on staff that completes an initial evaluation and prescribes medication if needed.
Education
All of our clients are enrolled in an education program off campus. When a client is assigned to a counselor, she will be able to express her educational needs. Brookwood’s therapists works closely with the school counselor to ensure the client is successful. Grades and attendance are monitored.
Each client is assessed for employment readiness at intake based on age and experience levels. Clients are encouraged to secure employment or a volunteer job if they are not already involved in sports or healthy extracurricular activities. Brookwood’s counselors teach interview skills and help with creating resumes.
Once they start receiving paychecks we work on budgeting skills to help instill financial planning and responsibility.
We utilize a Life Skills Workbook created by Brookwood Florida’s clinicians — which covers 24 essential life skills (such as communications and relationship building, time management, financial responsibility, navigating transportation systems, etc.)— Brookwood Florida’s therapeutic counselors teach key independent living skills covered during regular group sessions.
