Bridges Academy

Trauma-Focused,

Intake observation, and Therapeutic Assessment Home

Welcome to YHA Bridges, a place of hope, healing, and transformation. We understand that the journey towards wellness begins with the first step, and that's why our intake and assessment facility is here to provide a safe and supportive environment for young individuals needing help.

Guided by a compassionate and experienced team, our program is dedicated to understanding each individual's unique challenges and needs. Through comprehensive assessments, we tailor our approach to ensure that every youth receives the personalized care they deserve.

Our Bridges facility will be the first step in their treatment here at YHA. Upon completing their stay at Bridges, our youth will be assigned to one of our YHA facilities for the remainder of their stay. That decision will be based on age and other risk factors to ensure the youth is placed at the most appropriate facility for their needs.

Jason English,

Home Supervisor

Started with YHA in ‘01- ‘16, witness to the growth of a great company doing countless hours of rehabilitating 1000’s of youth and integrating them back to their families and, or back into the community. After working with clients that struggle with substance abuse, mental health, and extensive trauma issues, Jason returned to YHA in the Summer of ‘23. Through the leadership team and support from staff, I’ll lead with hard-work and dedication to helping young men get back on track and beginning their journey to building Bridge’s to taking back control of their lives.
