BRIDGES from Inpatient to Outpatient Care
BRIDGES helps adults, youth and children transition from inpatient to outpatient care and/or are referred from COPES so that they continue getting better and lead happier and healthier lives.
Family & Children’s Services BRIDGES the gap because transitions from mental health-related hospitalization to outpatient care are often not successful. In fact, rates of outpatient non-engagement can range from 22 to 90 percent depending on multiple factors. This can affect a person’s ability to get on a path toward healing and reducing future hospitalizations.
