Student Life
and Services
Family Days
Each year during Class Week 4, BBSH invites families of our students to visit us during Resident Training—and to learn
firsthand about School programs. Scheduled activities are available during these fun-filled days! As Class Week 4 will be
held remotely for the Advanced Studies Year 1 and 2 students, they and their families may participate in the activities
remotely via Zoom.
Professional/Academic Advising
Professional and academic advising is provided to the student by the Small Class Teacher and Class Dean. Small class
size and low student-to-teacher ratio allow time for personal attention and interaction. In addition, Teachers have weekly
office hours when they are available by telephone. Professional and academic advising includes the following:
• Assisting students in clarifying, articulating and attaining academic and life goals.
• Facilitating each student’s academic adjustment to the School’s environment.
• Explaining and clarifying the School’s courses and graduation requirements.
• Educating family members of students by providing on-site family visitation during one class each year.
• Serving as advocates and mediators for students.
When a student’s academic progress is below established standards, a team conference is held withthe student to
outline a course of action that best supports the student’s success. Team conferences are attended by faculty members
who will best support the student.
Counselor Qualifications
The Deans, Teachers and Project Advisors serve as academic and professional counselors during the student’s education.
The minimum education requirement for academic and professional counseling is six years of training at the School,
which includes the four-year Brennan Healing Science program and two years of the Advanced Studies program. In
addition, many of our teaching staff, Directors and Deans possess other academic degrees, and have training in a variety
of majors. (See Faculty Overview section.)
Placement Assistance
Placement assistance is provided to students through Professional Practice classes. These classes are structured to assist
students in setting up their own Brennan Integration Work practice or integrating their skills into their current profession.
All graduates are assisted in establishing their own practice as Brennan Integration Practitioners (BIPs). The Directory
of Brennan Integration Practitioners is a listing of all active BIPs, who are trained to provide Brennan Integration Work.
All BBSH students have easy access to this directory on the school website, and are encouraged to use BIPs to satisfy
their personal process requirement throughout the school year. Successful graduates of the Brennan Healing Science
Advanced Studies Year 2 program may be included in the Directory upon request.
There is no guarantee of placement and/or employment with the completion of this program.
