How Therapeutics, Academics & Residential Life Collaborate as Treatment

How do therapists, teachers & residential advisors work as one team?

Aside from herself, your daughter’s Treatment Team is accountable for her therapeutic, academic and social success at Greenbrier.

The team consists of her therapist, an Academic Advisor and two Residential Mentors that work in unison to create, maintain and adjust a personalized treatment plan for your daughter. Because every aspect of the Greenbrier program is so closely tied together, the Treatment Team acts as the glue that ensures all your daughter’s experiences are complimentary.

Each member of the Treatment Team has their own specialized training to support the team, but like parents, are mutually responsible for the overall well-being of their girls. At Greenbrier, there is no division between academics, therapy and residential life. Each member of the team is equally responsible for every aspect of your daughter’s success.

The Treatment Team also provides information and direction to the facilitators of our Signature Therapeutic Programs in order to customize your daughter’s experiences in-line with the work being done.

The Team observed and heard about numerous instances of student success because of unique intervention strategies. The school has set up a coordination of treatment teams which ensures that all parties are aware of the status of each student’s progress. The various teams are unique, and they work in concert to ensure that students are not falling through the cracks. The systems is quite a remarkable one that successfully works. Meeting the students where they are and providing services to meet their needs allows for academic and personal growth.
