The program is inclusive for all youth with respect to sexual orientation and gender identity. Trauma-informed care is the guiding treatment philosophy throughout the Brandywine program. Thus, it is a recovery-focused program based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which underscores most of the interventions utilized at Brandywine.
CBT emphasizes the use of more adaptive behaviors to improve resilience and strengthen relationships. Additionally, the program includes a comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy model, ongoing assessment of needs and risks, and high levels of family engagement opportunities to support successful outcomes.
