About Bridges to Wellbeing

Bridges to Wellbeing is a community initiative focused on supporting the mental health and well-being of young people and the people who care for them.

Bridges to Wellbeing grew out of conversations among community members who recognized a need for a stronger sense of connection and community around youth mental health. We saw an opportunity to bring people together, share resources, better understand the challenges facing young people, and create more opportunities for meaningful conversation and support.

We believe that supporting youth mental health is a community effort. We strive to bring together schools, families, youth-serving professionals, local organizations, and community members to identify local strengths and needs and find ways to work together.

Our work is guided by an active community advisory council. Through community events, education, partnerships, and outreach, we hope to make it easier for young people and families to find support, build resilience, and feel connected to their community.

Bridges to Wellbeing is a project of the Ottauquechee Health Foundation.
