The Bridge Youth & Family Services

The Bridge Youth & Family Services Founded in 1969, The Bridge offers support to youth & families in the Okanagan community. We embrace the Okanagan community with two distinct arms of service.

We work preventatively with new parents and their infants, we support families with various programs and we provide detox and recovery programs to youth and adults. Since inception, we have focused on community and families by working preventatively with new parents and their infants, counselling families who are struggling with their role, and working on behalf of the Ministry of Children and Fam

ily Development with young people in our community who are the most marginalized, street entrenched and disenfranchised. Our other arm of service includes our recovery and addictions programs. The Bridge is the largest provider of substance use services for the Interior Health Authority, we provide Supported Recovery Housing, Intensive Live-In Youth & Adult Treatment, community-based naloxone training, Outreach Overdose Prevention, and Withdrawal Management – detox – for both young people and adults.

We know that positive relationships, caring adults, and strong communities can make a lasting difference in the lives of young people.
