To break down the stigma of mental health and homelessness, we'll offer data and personal testimony from previously homeless individuals. Our panelists will discuss their specific program interventions that treat housing as healthcare.

We've seen a rise in our clients' levels of anxiety, depression, loneliness as well as their problems with addiction and we're just beginning to understand the long lasting fallout of this epidemic. But Bridges Healthcare is prepared to sustain our services for all who need our assistance.

With your help, funds raised via The Great Give 2021 will assist Bridges Healthcare as we continue to aide our community throughout the COVID-19 crisis and beyond. And your donations will also support our B-SAFE program which helps local teens and young adults (up to age 22) with mental health, reproductive education and sexual health.

Thank you for making a contribution to Bridges during The Great Give® fundraising campaign now through May 5! Early giving has started- thanks for your support.
