The Barry Robinson Center

What it reported doing in 2024

At The Barry Robinson Center, JBRI provides hope and healing to military-connected families through exceptional behavioral health residential treatment. Located on an inviting 18-acre campus in Norfolk, Virginia, the Center is the nation's first, and remains the only, residential treatment facility exclusively committed to serving military-connected youth. With a strong reputation for effectively managing complex cases, even across geographic distances, the Center has welcomed admissions from nearly every U.S. state and several countries.BRC's staff, many of whom are military-connected themselves understand the unique challenges military families face. Multiple moves, changing schools, and being separated from parents during training or deployments are all issues that can follow families even after service has ended. Residents and families will find an understanding community that shares their experiences, and a strong support network for their treatment journey. Our mission-driven staff of compassionate professionals provide individualized, holistic treatment for every individual in our care. Our program includes staff psychiatrists, nurses, master's prepared therapists, other mental health professionals, a licensed and accredited school, and therapeutic recreational activities. BRC's collaborative treatment approach includes structured family therapy designed to help youth reintegrate back into their communities upon discharge. Every interaction during a resident's time at BRC has a therapeutic component, from visiting with the facility dog, to equine assisted learning, scout program, music program, voluntary spiritual life program, and much more. Our treatment outcomes demonstrate the success of our approach, and we're always evaluating and looking for ways to enhance our service to military-connected youth and their families.
