Web Design: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/11455160/admin/updates/ GIS Services: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/11454198/admin/updates/ Hopeworks and Trauma Hopeworks is trauma informed.. What does this mean? It means we believe that without addressing the unresolved traumatic issues in a youth's life, youth will not be able to take full advantage of opportunities in their lives. Healing is the key!

We care deeply that children with disabilities in the world’s poorest communities live healthier, happier, longer lives. Too many of these kids are sick, lonely, abused, dying. We believe each one is loved and valued by God. No child should be forgotten. Why? Because we believe that a whole world needs everyone. No one should be forgotten. So together with Canadians like you, we fight for equal access to school and to jobs for people with disabilities in developing countries. Together with you, we give healing hugs to kids in need – giving medical and rehabilitative care that heals young bodies and mends broken hearts. Together with you we share God’s love with the most vulnerable children and families on the planet.

Bridges of Hope is a recovery program ... not a treatment center in the traditional sense. Medical, psychiatric and professional counseling services are not automatically available to residents. Insurance companies will not pay for our services. Bridges of Hope is not a state-funded facility. We operate and cover expenses solely on charitable contributions and donations from companies and foundations which are tax-deductible. Bridges of Hope cannot accept anyone in need of detoxification (but we may be able to refer such a person to a qualified medical facility). Bridges of Hope does not accept individuals with so-called dual-diagnosis, or those with a history of violence. Bridges of Hope does not currently offer services for adolescents. We accept men (and adult women at the Alamo facility) from late teens on up, however, we have limited capacity for teenage males. Bridges of Hope is not a 'half-way' house... residents are required to commit to full-time residency. Bridges of Hope is a working facility, meaning residents physical condition should be fair to good in order to contribute through at least moderate on-site work activities on a daily basis. Although the Bridges of Hope subscribes to the spiritual program and principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, we are not affiliated with any specific religious organization. The program is open to those of any religious orientation.
