Crisis Support On Your Terms.
Trauma-informed, short-term stays for those in self-identified crises.
A Safe Place To Be Yourself.
Welcome to Bridges United - a non-profit, peer-run crisis respite in Manitowoc, Wisconsin providing short-term stays and specialized, non-clinical support to those experiencing a self-identified crisis.
With our person-centered and trauma-informed approach, being yourself is not only accepted here, it’s encouraged and embraced. You deserve respect. You deserve to be heard.
And we’re here when you need us.
Our Way Of Filling The Gap
As a peer organization, all Bridges United board members, officers, and staff have lived experience within our current crisis, jail, and mental health systems. We share a common belief that sometimes the most beneficial care is someone simply listening.
A clinical approach to crisis intervention has its place, but we’re working to fill a gap in the system - one a non-clinical, people-centered approach can fill. It’s that kind of support, empowerment, and honest understanding we hope to provide for others in need.
You’re Safe Here.
If you or someone you love is seeking support through a time of crisis, we’re here to help. Get in touch with us today.
