About this facility
Brandon School and Residential Treatment Center helps boys ages 7–18 who struggle with emotional and behavioral issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and more. Located on a wooded 35-acre campus just outside Boston, they offer short-term and long-term care through day school, residential treatment, and intensive assessments. Families find hope at Brandon, where every child is seen for their strengths, not just their struggles. Brandon uses a research-based, trauma-informed model called CARE that supports healing through strong relationships, family involvement, and meaningful activities. Therapies include individual, group, and family counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy, expressive therapies, and specialized assessments for trauma, firesetting, and problem sexual behaviors. All treatments are personalized and focus on helping boys grow in safe and healthy ways. At Brandon School, each day follows a structured yet supportive routine. Students begin with morning self-care and breakfast before heading to on-campus classes. After a midday lunch break, academic learning continues in the afternoon. Once classes end, students take part in enriching activities like photography, baking, gardening, or sports. Evenings include dinner, free time, a snack, and personal care before settling in for the night. Boys live in comfortable, home-like houses with shared or single rooms and supervised daily routines. On a 35-acre wooded campus near Boston, they enjoy walking trails, sports fields, gardens, and a full gym. Healthy meals, on-site medical care, and access to education and therapy are all part of daily life, creating a well-rounded and supportive environment.
