about

VISION

To facilitate community reintegration and reconciliation for men in the justices system and their families through advocacy, education and restorative justice.

MISSION

To provide services of discharge planning, transitional housing, and rehabilitative programs for victims, ex-offenders and families, by promotion and enabling healing and reconciliation for those in our community affected by crime. 

About THE BRIDGE (HAMILTON) - From Prison to Community

The Bridge and its programs grew out of a church community’s desire to provide greater follow-up after incarceration to help ex-offenders adjust to reintegration in the community.

The Bridge Hamilton provides reintegration services to men exiting incarceration. Reintegration services play a crucial role in helping individuals transition from incarceration back into society. By focusing on the strengths and needs of clients, these services aim to lower recidivism rates and offer support tailored to the unique circumstances of each individual. Recognizing and leveraging client strengths is an essential aspect of reintegration services. This approach not only empowers clients but also builds their confidence as they navigate their lives back in the community.

Success in reintegration is defined by the ability of clients to lead fulfilling, independent, and law-abiding lives. Reintegration services can help clients achieve this by:
  • Goal Setting: Help clients set realistic and achievable life goals.
  • Building Resilience: Teach coping strategies and problem-solving skills.
  • Celebrating Milestones: Recognize and celebrate client achievements to motivate continued progress.

The Bridge thanks our donors and supporters as we continue to provide individualized care and comprehensive support to our clients. With your help, these services empower clients to succeed and thrive.
