About Bellewood & Brooklawn – Louisville
Located in Louisville, Kentucky is Bellewood and Brooklawn. This organization provides supportive care to children and families who are working through difficult life experiences. This can include struggles with a mental health disorder, challenges with behavioral health, at risk behaviors, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and involvement with substance use.
Originally established to serve marginalized children in the community including orphans, this organization has evolved to provide supportive care to foster children, foster families, and parents who are seeking services to help their child overcome the life challenges they’re facing.
Today, you’ll find a number of services available, including residential care, outpatient programs, and trauma informed programming.
There are different residential treatment programs for children and teens who have struggled with their mental health or impulse control, or have been victims of sexual abuse and other traumatic instances.
Their residential programming incorporates group counseling sessions for children who have experimented with substances such as drugs and alcohol. Through these sessions, kids and teens learn how to navigate compromising circumstances and identify triggers and emotions that lead them to abuse substances in the first place.
There are also psychiatry and psychotherapy services along with more structured programs that address more complex disorders and health issues.
As children move through the residential treatment program, they’ll still be able to keep up with their education thanks to a partnership with the Jefferson County Public School District. There’s a campus on site where your child can maintain their academics and engage in a positive social life.
Bellewood and Brooklawn has partnerships with different organizations in the community that can continue to support children and families. Teenagers transitioning into young adulthood will have access to safe housing, career development opportunities, independent living skills training, and even higher education services.
With these supports in place, kids and teens are equipped with the tools to lead a sober, healthy, and fruitful lifestyle.
