Brokenleg is known for the Circle of Courage, an influential model of positive youth development first presented by Brokenleg and Larry Brendtro in 1988. The framework posits that there are four universal needs and values that are essential for young people's growth: belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity. The model has been widely used in educational, treatment, and youth work settings and received the Albert E. Trieschman award for contribution to the child and youth care literature.
