Bridges
Heartland Family Service Bridges offers two services, Transitional Living and Crisis Care. Staff are available 24 hours at Heartland Bridges for resident oversight and assistance. Bridges Transitional Living provides short-term housing for people in transition to and from mental health or substance use treatment, support services, and/or permanent housing. The goal is to help clients secure permanent housing and connect them with community-based mental health or substance use services and avoid unnecessary incarcerations. Transitional Living aims to provide a home-like, trauma-informed experience for clients. The 11 units are arranged in double-occupancy bedrooms and bathrooms with a family-style kitchen, dining room, and living room. Laundry equipment is available. Bridges Crisis Care is a 3–5 day Crisis Stabilization Residential Service for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis to receive therapeutic services for mental and emotional stabilization.
