Names and faces changed to protect privacy of children.

Children in foster care often bounce between child welfare (DCYF) offices, motels, shelters, emergency care facilities, and multiple short-term placements with little chance to get their questions answered, let alone process the trauma they have experienced.

Bridge Receiving Center is a therapeutic residential program that partners with a children's camp where children (ages 4-18) find an immediate safe place to stay while awaiting the next steps in their lives.

THE BRIDGE
DIFFERENCE

• Reduced trauma that comes when a child needs to be removed from home and placed in care.
• Stability through trauma-responsive support during stay.
• Increased sense of felt safety for a child during transition.
Ability to keep siblings together.

Time provided to locate the best option for the child, not the first available bed.
