CAREBridges
Our CAREBridges are the initiatives we run to make a difference in the community. By helping remove barriers to CARE, these programs are Bridges over the gaps in mental health for disadvantaged and underserved communities.
Increasing Access to Therapy
Our CAREBridges are a collaborative effort with our therapist partners to address one barrier to mental healthcare: cost. Bridging the Gap will connect therapy seekers with culturally competent therapists at a greatly reduced cost.
Bridge 2 Care
Bridge 2 CARE initiative is the flagship program of the Foundation. Its focus is making mental health treatment options accessible to the underinsured and underserved communities in and around Dallas, TX, educating the community to increase help-seeking behaviors, and providing financial assistance toward ten (10) professional counseling sessions with a culturally competent therapist.
Bridge 2 ReEntry
Bridge 2 Reentry initiative began in the Spring of 2023 in collaboration with the 283rd District Court and Judge Lela Lawrence Mays, with a restorative focus offering clients professional mental health therapy sessions. Neglecting proper care exacerbates existing mental health problems, raises the rate of recidivism, and puts many individuals in harm’s way.
Bridge 2 Futures
Bridge 2 Futures is to connect families to therapists, remove financial barriers, and reduce the disparities in accessing care addressing the far-reaching challenges of stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues in children and adolescents. This initiative will tackle mental health disparities by reducing stigma, increasing access to care, improving equity in mental health treatment, and enabling early identification and intervention, especially among disadvantaged and vulnerable populations.
