Brookwood Florida’s mission is dedicated to providing troubled adolescent girls with an alternative living environment and therapeutic program encompassing education, employability skills, independent living training and counseling that will prepare them for self-sufficiency or successful family reunification.
Founded in 1927, Brookwood is a licensed therapeutic group home for adolescent girls ages 11 to 21, who come from throughout the state of Florida. Residents are victims of abuse, neglect, violence, family dysfunction, or homelessness. These young girls are placed by Florida Department of Children and Families, Parents experiencing stressful parent-child relationships and Emergency Crisis and Homeless Shelters. Brookwood's treatment philosophy is a combination of cognitive, behavioral and reality therapies. The program goal is to assist troubled young women in developing skills, self-concepts and a maturity level sufficient to successfully return home or move into independent living.
