September is #NationalSuicidePreventionMonth. Bridge works every year with youth facing significant challenges, but our research has found that feelings of social connectedness can reduce suicidal thoughts and self-harm behaviors in youth experiencing homelessness. Visit our research page for more on how we learn about the experiences of our youth and use that knowledge to improve our programs and services. www.bridgeotw.org/research

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or self-harm and need someone to talk to, you are not alone. Call or text 988 for help. @988lifeline by @bridgeotw

It’s #BackToSchool season! At Bridge, that can look a little different for every youth. Our @hisetexam program helps youth earn their high school equivalency credential at their own pace and on their own timeline. It opens the door to new opportunities in education, career, and beyond. Hear directly from our youth about what the HiSET program has meant to them by watching our video (link in bio). 🎓 by @bridgeotw
