OVERVIEW

NewBridge Family Shelter is a program of ICD Bridges, Inc., a non-profit organization.  Our trained and qualified professionals provide quality services and support to individuals impacted by domestic violence.  Our primary objective is to help individuals gain a healthy and self-sufficient life that is free of physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. We also strive to encourage positive mental health and emotional healing, provide guidance and advocacy, and promote education for the prevention of domestic violence.  Our services reach children, survivors of domestic violence, and the perpetrators of abuse.  Most of our services are offered at no cost.

WHO'S ELIGIBLE?

The abuse does not have to involve physical violence or be recent nor does it have to be between husband and wife in order for a person to be eligible for our services.  And, there aren't any financial or age criteria to meet either.  The only criteria is that you have been a victim or perpetrator of physical, sexual, verbal, or psychological abuse in a family, dating, or other committed intimate relationship at some time in your life.  So, it can be recent abuse or it could have happened many years ago when you were a child and witnessed abuse in your family or if you were abused yourself as a child.  It could be past or present abuse from a grandparent or a sibling or from a same-sex partner.  Or, it could be from unwanted sexual activity or verbal abuse from a current or former boyfriend.  It can even be from stalking by an acquintance.
