Brookview in the Schools
A growing body of research supports the premise that effective social-emotional learning is a key to children’s success in school and life.
Brookview presents behavioral health programs in schools to complement classroom learning, improve behavior and elevate self-esteem of at risk youth. A ‘Respect’ curriculum is the foundation for igniting social skills and building character. Skits, music, group discussions, games, and art demonstrate various ways to communicate with teachers and peers. Students learn about respect – what it is, how it is earned and lost – and explore the personal implications of behavior based on respect.

"I was going through a lot when I was in elementary school and my teachers didn't know how to handle me. They thought I was a problem child. Then I came to Brookview and people liked me. If I had elementary teachers like that I wouldn't have had such a hard time. Now I'm definitely interested in working with kids. You can help mold their future. It's a real joy I have."
