Brookwood Florida provides a home for girls, diverted by incredible abuse, neglect or family dysfunction, in which they learn to be self-sufficient and successful.
Founded in 1927, Brookwood Florida provides a unique, life-changing residential program for non-pregnant, non-addicted, at-risk girls between the ages of 13 and 21. The agency typically serves between 100 and 110 girls per year who have suffered abuse, neglect, homelessness and serious family dysfunction. The overall goal of the program is to help prepare the girls to become self-sufficient and self-supporting adults, and work toward family reunification when feasible. Girls are referred to Brookwood Florida in three ways:
The Florida Department of Children and Families
Parents experiencing stressful parent-child relationships
Crisis and homeless shelters
Brookwood Florida’s exceptional program offers a lifeline to girls who would otherwise be prime candidates for much more costly and restrictive programs, like those the local juvenile justice system administers. Without Brookwood Florida, these girls have a greater chance of dropping out of school, becoming teen mothers, experiencing substance and alcohol abuse and even run the risk of becoming homeless or victims of human trafficking. Additionally, many residents of Brookwood struggle with mental health issues that would only be exacerbated without the support provided through the agency’s program.
Our community-based program provides 24-hour care, seven days a week, and includes three residential tiers designed to provide increasingly more independent living conditions to help our clients move steadily toward self-sufficiency and reintegration within the community.

Brookwood Florida, Inc. is dedicated to providing troubled teen girls with an alternative living environment and therapeutic program encompassing education, employ-ability skills, independent living training, and counseling that will prepare them for self-sufficiency or a successful family reunification.

Our Vision

Brookwood Florida, Inc. is to stem generational cycles of abuse and family dysfunction by providing the most effective therapeutic residential program for troubled teen girls in the state of Florida.
