About This Cause
Bonnie Brae is an extraordinary school and a safe haven for youth in crisis, ages 12-21. We are a fully accredited and nationally recognized Residential Treatment Center, a place for youth to heal, to learn and to grow. Since 1916, when Bonnie Brae was founded by Judge Harry Osborne, we've helped over 13,000 youth who are historically underserved. Today, we serve over 100 boys at our main campus situated on 100 beautiful acres in Bernard's Township and 21 young men at our transitional living homes in New Brunswick, Bound Brook and Bridgewater. For over 100 years, when all other resources have failed, we have been a safe haven for youth in crisis. In 2016, we began serving girls and boys, via our Intensive In-Community program. A program where youth receive in-home therapy from a Bonnie Brae staffer. Our Cherry Tree Crisis Stabilization program in Chester, NJ opened in December 2021 and currently serves both females, males, non-binary and transgender youth between the ages of 13 - 18 who have experienced complex trauma. It's our first time providing residential services to females. In April of 2024, we opened a similar crisis program, a 5 bed cottage on our main campus for boys. These two programs help youth de-escalate crisis, provide therapeutic services and in-home schooling. Our goal via these two programs is to transition youth to a less restrictive environment in 45 - 90 days. In July 2023, we focused on addressing the needs of our youth once they've transitioned home and returned to their communities. We are in the initial phases of this program and are piloting a mentorship program between our current staff and youth, once they have discharged, to provide them with ongoing services and support. The goal of Aftercare is to empower youth and families to reach their potential by connecting them with meaningful resources and supports. Bonnie Brae helps youth transform their lives and thrive.
