Family Healing Program Extends

Formerly a judge advocate in the United States Air Force, L. Jay Mitchell holds a law degree from the University of Idaho College of Law. In addition to creating three residential programs focused on personal growth, L. Jay Mitchell founded and directs Greenbrier Academy for Girls in Lewisburg, West, Virginia.


Greenbrier Academy for Girls combines rigorous academics with effective therapeutic programming to help adolescent girls shift negative thought patterns and develop healthy relational patterns. Recognizing that healing is essential for the whole family, the school operates the Family Healing Program to help repair and strengthen relationships.

Within the first six weeks of a girl’s admission, her family is invited to attend a two-day virtual workshop. Open to all families of new Greenbrier students, the workshop educates and orients families in key school procedures. Then, the school hosts bimonthly 90-minute virtual workshops, during which parents can explore provocative subjects using the “Fearless Living” framework.

Finally, families visit the Greenbrier campus to take part in a three-day experiential workshop that may include seasonal activities with their daughter, therapies, and assignments designed to create space for parent-daughter relationships to thrive.
