Therapeutic interventions

​

Here at Brook Green we are very lucky to be able to offer our students a range of therapeutic interventions to support their emotional health and wellbeing. These interventions are additional to core subject academic interventions to supports the individual needs of our students.

​

We invest in the development of our good practice in therapeutic support by releasing a number of specialist Teaching and Learning Assistants each week to enhance our provision and enable our students to develop their emotional, wellbeing and resilience.

The therapeutic interventions that are available to our students are:
