For children who have struggled in traditional school settings, back-to-school season can bring panic and dread. The Bradley School has been a transformational setting that empowers students to unlock their skills in a therapeutic setting.

About us
For over 100 years Bradley has been providing hope to children and families in need of comprehensive and caring services. Bradley was founded by The United Methodist Women in 1905 as The Elizabeth A. Bradley Home for Children and operated for many years as an orphanage and as interim housing for children whose parents were separated or divorced. In 1972, it was incorporated as The Bradley Center to serve abused, neglected and dependent children. In 1991, Bradley was reorganized by a new non-denominational, community-based Board of Trustees and executive management. The Bradley Center has since evolved into an accredited, regional behavioral healthcare and child welfare system that provides hope to young girls and boys. Bradley is committed to advocacy for children and dedicated to the restoration of productive relationships among children, their families and the community whenever possible. The Bradley Center implements the Sanctuary Model of Trauma Informed Care developed by Dr. Sandra Bloom. Sanctuary is a treatment and organizational model that is based on understanding trauma. Every staff and resident in care focus on "SELF" - Safety (physical, psychological, social and moral), Emotion management, Loss (traumatic experiences and separation), and the Future (how can things get better?). Bradley has earned the quality distinction of accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. It is also licensed by the Pennsylvania Departments of Education and Welfare. Bradley's Vision is to be recognized nationally by families, communities and professionals as a premier behavioral healthcare, education and child welfare organization that promotes the physical, social, emotional, educational and spiritual growth of the children, youth and families that it serves.

Are you just working 9-5 to get by or are you investing your work in a mission you believe in? In an article in Forbes, Melody Wilding writes, “Those who experience their work as a calling are most likely to feel a deep alignment between their vocation and who they are as a person. They feel a personal and emotional connection to their work. They are enthusiastic, have a sense of purpose, and are willing to work harder and longer to make a contribution. Unsurprisingly, this group is often the most satisfied with their professional situation.” If you’re ready to trade your soul-draining job for a rewarding calling, visit our career page to join our team! https://lnkd.in/esJD55p7

When you look back on pivotal moments in your life there’s often an intersection of life circumstances and key relationships that shape the course of your life. Sometimes the changes are positive: graduating high school and heading off to college. Other times, they are unwelcome interruptions, like a sudden layoff or the death of a loved one. When we reflect on those times, we are buoyed up by the supportive people who cheered us on and carried us through. “I never would’ve made it through that season without _________,” we recall. The children at The Bradley Center have often faced daunting challenges. We are committed to being tireless advocates who provide them with resources to find healing—while having some fun along the way. You can play a role in bringing hope. When they look back on this time in their life, will it be your name, your face they recall? “I never would’ve made it through that season without YOU.” Visit our career page to find your role in our team. https://lnkd.in/esJD55p7

3 Ways to Avoid Summer Learning Loss Summer break brings days of seemingly endless sunshine and plenty of fun, but it can chip away at academic progress. One study found that over the summer, students may lose as much as 25–30% of the progress made during the school year. Here are three ways to make sure the learning your child has worked so hard to achieve doesn’t atrophy: 1. Take part in a summer reading program. Reading is a foundational skill that supports all other areas of academic achievement. Even better, books open up a world of adventure that allows children's curiosity to soar. Take part in the reading program with your child to model positive habits for them. 2. Let your child lead. Over the school year, the course of study is largely predetermined. Allow your child to delve into their areas of interest over the summer. From state fairs to space camp, there are many ways to engage your child’s strengths. 3. Enjoy moments of discovery. Mental exercise over the summer doesn’t need to be a full-time program with a peer-reviewed curriculum. Build pockets of learning into your ordinary activities. When on a family hike, use an app like Merlin to identify the birdsong you hear. Pause over your milk and cookies to watch a YouTube video explaining pasteurization. The possibilities are endless and can be effortless. One final encouragement: Summer is a wonderful time for a change of pace. Even while you integrate academic enrichment into your summer, it’s also key that you demonstrate the value of rest and rejuvenation for your child.
