Brandon School and Residential Treatment Center

Intensive Residential: this program strives to prepare youth for a successful transition back into their families and home community by providing consistent care and a corrective learning experience. The focus of the program is on group interaction, behavioral change, while developing varied levels of independence within a highly structured milieu.

Intensive group home: this program is designed to increase self-reliance and decision making abilities of residents, while providing ample opportunities for group interaction and shared responsibilities, with the ultimate goal of living independently. Youth often attend public or therapeutic day schools.

Intensive day: Brandon's day school provides a structured learning environment similar to that of a public school but on a much smaller scale. In this supportive and highly structured learning environment, students improve their academic and social skills, develop more appropriate behavioral controls and improve their self-esteem.

Starr: the stabilization, assessment and rapid reunification (starr) is a short-term placement service that provides a single door for youth that need immediate/emergency temporary placement and/or stabilization services, as well as a youth requiring more intensive services. Starr is a flexible service designed to meet the service needs of the youth and familiy. All youth receive stabilization services, while some youth require additional assessment and Treatment services.

Specialty Treatment residence: provides programming for clients with multiple barriers to overall functioning due to concerns of problematic sexualized behaviors, attachment issues, trauma issues, often their own sexual abuse history, poor understanding of social skills and boundaries. They often have trouble navigating the social realm and world around them, sometimes exhibiting depression and low self-esteem, occasional suicidality concerns, and mixed family involvement due to behaviors leading to placement. Often youth who are involved within the legal system, including sorb/state registry for sexual offenders, are referred to Brandon's sbp for Treatment. Brandon continues to engage in advocacy for youth that support and accurately portray the Treatment needs and progress/barriers of youth and working with juvenile justice systems to provide the best pathway for future success of youth served.

Follow along services: provide intensive home-based family interventions and supports to youth and families, both while youth are preparing to return home or move to another family setting, and after this return takes place.
