Are you looking to give back to a cause that is close to you heart? We serve over 200 people daily with severe and persistent mental illness and help them get their life back. These people need to know that the community cares about them! Help us connect with you in a holiday party of giving back. We need a group of people to donate a large meal to feed 150 people and gifts for the holiday season! We are needing items that will range from winter ware to household necessitates that food stamps alone will not provide. Our members and staff thank you for your time and kindness and I hope we can connect soon!

Mission Statement
Bridgehaven provides hope and recovery through innovative, comprehensive, community-based mental health services to adults living with mental illness.
Description
Bridgehaven provides the highest quality community based psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery services, education, and support to those touched by mental illness. In 1955-56 The Louisville Section of the National Council of Jewish Women studied mental health needs in Kentucky. They identified a need for programs to help ease the transition from mental hospitals back to community participation. Bridgehaven was founded in 1958 as a result of this study, the first community program in Jefferson County, and only the third of its type nationally to serve people with psychiatric problems outside a hospital setting.
A program that started with three clients and two staff, Bridgehaven’s staff of Licensed Professional Art Therapists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Advanced Practice Nurses, Licensed Professional Counselors, Peer Specialists and administrative staff now offers program up to six days a week for over 500 members annually.
