We pride ourselves on delivering quality evidence-based services by non-judgmental and dedicated staff. We understand the barriers and hurdles individuals can face when struggling with mental ill-health, adversity, and stigma. The Bridges team works collaboratively across programs both within and outside our own organisation to ensure an integrated, culturally appropriate response to each individual's needs. Our 'no wrong door policy' ensures that we offer a service regardless of whether it is a drug and alcohol or mental health issue. If you don't require hospitalisation but are in need of specialist mental health and/or drug and alcohol support in many instances, hospital staff will assess your situation and refer you to us for ongoing assistance. If we are recommended to you, and you agree to the referral, we encourage you to contact us immediately after your assessment so we can assist you as soon as possible.
