Narrative

Bridgewell’s respite program is designed for people with developmental and/or mental health problems who are in need of crisis stabilization. They may also have set up a planned stay. People who come as emergency placements receive a menu of services to help them become stabilized. The services focus on personal treatment planning and support to enable the person to return to his/her home as quickly as possible. Oftentimes plans are recommended to be continued upon discharge.
