Bridgeway Rehabilitation Services has been assisting individuals to recover from mental health conditions since 1968. Now serving over 4,000 people annually, Bridgeway combines a multi-disciplinary, wrap-around approach with supportive housing and social network enhancement to serve those who are frequent service users and who are at the most risk of hospitalization and homelessness.
