A Bridge to Help, Healing, and Hope

The Bridge Family Center is a non-profit agency in the Greater Hartford community that supports children, teens, young adults, families, parents and caregivers through positive intervention and prevention programs – all fueled by a deep empathy for others. From short-term shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and life-skills training for high-risk teenagers, to our Mosaic Parenting Center helping parents to regain custody of their children, the depth and breadth of our services are as diverse as our community. Where there is a need, the Bridge responds – every time!
