About the Bridge
The Bridge was founded in 1954 by former long-term residents of a psychiatric hospital. Returning to the community and finding that there were no program to support them, Bridge founders created a self-help collective to offer social support to other adults experiencing serious mental illness. Our mission is to change lives by providing help, hope, and opportunity to the most vulnerable New Yorkers. We offer a range of behavioral health services, supportive housing, and community services to adults in New York City who are experiencing serious mental illness, helping them on their path to wellness and independence. Today, The Bridge is a $101.5 million agency providing housing and behavioral health services to over New Yorkers each year. We run more than 60 programs in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, each designed to meet the individual needs of the people we serve.

Jan 1954 — Present · New York, NY, US
The Bridge was founded in 1954 by a group of men and women who had been together in a psychiatric hospital and, upon returning to the community, found that there were no programs to support them. While they were given prescriptions for psychotropic medication when they were discharged from the hospital, they had no experience living in the community, having been hospitalized for many years. The self-help program they created, supported by volunteer fundraising, provided mutual social support and recreational activities for more than 150 men and women during the next fifteen years.
