The Boys Town Psychoeducation Treatment Model®

Brooklawn is honored to be the only Kentucky partner with the famous Father Flanagan’s Boys Town in implementing the Psychoeducational Treatment Model®. This highly respected, research-based model is used in treatment programs across the country that care for youth with psychiatric and related behavioral disorders. It has been continuously adapted and improved to meet the changing needs of children and families. It is regarded as the most effective model for achieving sustainable, meaningful change in behavior.

PEM empowers youth by enabling them to…

• Manage their behavior
• Control their impulses
• Delay gratification
• Empathize and build relationships
• Cope with crises calmly and consistently

With this treatment model, children often experience lower rates of delinquency and drug use, improved school performance and better social skills, preparing them for college, work and life.
