We had a blast yesterday with Cause San Diego ! When we at The BRIDGE think about community care, it means to center sustainable, equitable, radical care FOR ALL. We know that we take care of ourselves so that we can pour into and show up for our community every single day. Radical Self Care is a practice rooted in love, justice, equity, and decolonization. How have you practiced radical self (and community) care this week?

Ending systemic oppression in education through the lens of mental health.
About us
At The B.R.I.D.G.E., we Build Resilience through Inclusively Designed Guidance and Education. We don’t “fix” communities; we collaborate with them to identify problems and solutions. Our group-based SEL curriculum pulls from Systems and Polyvagal Theories, Cognitive-Behavioral and Narrative Therapies, and Somatics. We created this program to end systemic oppression in education through the lens of mental health. Students currently living through adversity and trauma do not receive the resources and support they need to succeed. Counselors, when available, are forced to serve an impossible number of students. Instead, affected students are typically funneled through the punitive School-to-Prison Pipeline, which disproportionately targets minority youth and students of lower socio-economic backgrounds. A cohesive treatment plan for trauma must equip students with the skills to handle future adversity, while also engaging the adult populations that surround and support students (i.e., teachers and caregivers).
