11/1/2004 - Bonnie Brae Hosts The
First National Conference On Residential Treatment
Outcomes November 2004 – Why do residential treatment centers like Bonnie
Brae exist? How effective are residential treatment
centers throughout the country? What are the outcomes
for children that attend residential treatment centers?
The National Conference on Residential Treatment
Center Outcomes hosted by Bonnie Brae, a residential
treatment center for at-risk youth located in Bernards
Township, New Jersey, will be held November 4-5 at the
North Maple Inn in Basking Ridge.
The conference, made possible through a generous
grant from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will
allow researchers from the nation’s leading residential
centers to share outcome data and to identify potential
best practices. Results of this pioneering conference
will be disseminated to a national audience through
professional papers and conference presentations.
Bonnie Brae is one of the first agencies to organize
a conference such as this; a forum where organizations
throughout the country can come together to examine just
how these residential treatment centers are doing.
Bonnie Brae is a private, nonprofit, accredited
residential treatment center and special education
center founded in 1916 and located in Bernards Township.
The 100-acre campus is currently home to 80 male youths
11 to 18 who do not have families or whose families are
unable to care for them. Most of them are referred by
the Division of Youth and Family Services and arrive at
Bonnie Brae after an average of eight out-of-home
placements including juvenile shelters, foster homes and
psychiatric hospitals.
Most of them have suffered abuse or neglect. Bonnie
Brae’s therapists, counselors and special education
teachers help the youth in their care to reclaim their
full life potential and return to their homes,
communities and society as independent, self-sufficient
and productive citizens.
