The Bridge was established in 1973 and serves individuals who are at risk of being excluded from mainstream society including emotionally and behaviorally challenged children, adolescents, transition age youth and their families; and adults with major mental health challenges and/or developmental disabilities. Our passion for serving the disenfranchised also takes the form of operating a program for homeless individuals, a residential program for head-injured, physically challenged women, and a drop in center and outreach program for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and questioning youth (GLBTQ) youth (Safe Homes Program).
All of our programs are based in a framework of evidence-based or best-practice treatments -- treatments that work.
The Bridge strives to be the pre-eminent evidence-based and best practice human service provider. The agency works in full partnership with the individuals, families, and communities that it serves to achieve life-long learning, self-determination, meaningful relationships, productive work, and community living through psychosocial interventions and practices. The Bridge also provides leadership to the service community through consultation and training.
