We are discussing: the Brookwood Story; the Brookwood Philosophy; the Brookwood Facility; the Brookwood Business/Social Enterprises; and the Brookwood Center for Learning their Education/Outreach program for others who hope to create their own Brookwood.

There are places available for adults with disabilities to live but very few places that will provide a nurturing environment where they will continue to grow educationally, vocationally, and spiritually. Finding a job for an adult with a disability is akin to trying to fit a square peg into a round hole since there are not many places adults with functional disabilities may work.

Brookwood’s purpose is: To provide opportunity through education so that Brookwood citizens will:

 *             Acquire meaningful job skills and hold real jobs in the Community’s own business enterprises

*             Experience the pride that accompanies the ability to contribute to one’s own support

*             Grow socially, emotionally, and spiritually

Brookwood is the whole package. They have built a sustainable model that has the support of the local community. They provide residential, to include ageing related care needs. They also have on site medical and dental care. It is important to read the book Everyone Has A Seed to Sow by Yvonne Strait, the founder of Brookwood to truly appreciate what has been accomplished at Brookwood.
