Brookwood Florida

Brookwood serves a diverse population of troubled adolescent girls under the age of 18. They are high-risk youth (prone to dropping out of school, unstable relationships with families, struggling with mental health issues), whose needs could only be met by the type of specialized program our agency provides. Brookwood's program offers them security plus support, and provides effective service delivery of key services, as assessment, treatment and supervised residential living are all rendered on-site. Brookwood also serves young women aged 18 to 21 that choose to participate in an extended foster care arrangement that is designed to provide a supportive transitional environment. Because our program is community-based (located near downtown st.petersburg, with county-wide public transportation accessibility), our clients benefit from a host of local available resources, allowing them the opportunity to engage in real life experiences that better prepare them for self-sufficiency and independent living. In regard to education, our clients attend traditional high schools, vocational centers, community colleges and other specialized school settings, while they work at an array of local companies and gather valuable life and work experience through volunteering.
