BRIDGES Peer-Led Education
The BRIDGES program is a 10-week, manualized education course designed to provide basic education about the etiology and treatment of mental illness, self-help skills, and recovery principles in order to empower participants to return to valued social roles within their communities. BRIDGES is a peer-led program and all instructors are adults with mental illnesses. For this intervention study, the BRIDGES curriculum was modified from a week course to an 8-week course, meeting for 2 1/2 hours once a week.
