Where does healing begin? Healing begins by Building Resilience through Interaction, Development, Growth and Engagement (B.R.I.D.G.E.) I developed the B.R.I.D.G.E. Model © to address healing from adverse experiences, interpersonal, generational, and community trauma; foster community resilience so that the community can support and heal its residents and provides a framework for sustainable services that are engaging, interactive, and foster growth and development and not threatened by loss of funding. The model will help your agency learn how to create a sustainable community program; apply interventions that are evidenced-based and practice-based, trauma-informed, resilient-focused, cultural sensitive and inclusive-sensitive; and select contemplative practices that engage and connect families to the community, foster healthy intergenerational connections, and promote healthy behaviors. Be part of our community so you can “Be the B.R.I.D.G.E. to healing” for your community.
