At NewBridge Services, we are part of the national Zero Suicide movement, based on the understanding that suicide is preventable through awareness and intervention. We train all staff—not just direct service providers—to recognize warning signs and know how to respond.
Over the years, we’ve helped numerous clients overcome suicidal ideation and the conditions that underly it, often depression, anxiety, and past trauma. Through personalized therapies, they rediscover reasons to embrace life, and techniques to manage feelings and cope with the inevitable bumps in the road.
