Beech Brook

School-Based Mental Health ProgramsBeech Brook provides mental health support and services to children in elementary schools throughout the Cleveland Municipal School District and in several suburban districts. Working hand-in-hand with children, teachers, administrators, and families, Beech Brook helps children overcome the mental health problems that are getting in the way of their success. This program offers both individual and family counseling, support groups, medication somatic services, parent support and education, and linkage with community resources.

REACH ProgramBeech Brook's REACH program teaches emotionally or behaviorally troubled children and their families important skills to improve their functioning in all settings, including the home, school, and community. Skills can include social skills, improved communication, problem-solving, appropriate decision making, and parental techniques. The program, which is often provided in conjunction with School-Based Mental Health Services, also provides linkages to other programs and services.

Therapeutic Foster CareBeech Brook's Therapeutic Foster Care is a community-based, mental health foster care program built upon a strength-based, skills-building treatment model. Therapeutic Foster Care admits children/teens who have recently stepped down from or who are at risk of stepping into a higher level of care, e.g., residential treatment or hospitalization. Frequently these children have a history of major problems in their physical health, school adjustment, peer and adult relationships, and emotional stability. Beech Brook also provides specialized and traditional foster care for children and teens whose mental health needs are less severe.
