The Bridge Weekly Drop-In Sessions offer teens a safe place where they can come together and talk with their peers about problems facing youth, and about life, in general.
Large and small group discussions give them the chance to share feelings and experiences about peer pressures, relationships, sexuality, family and school issues, communication, substance abuse, and teen suicide - to name a few. We often utilize videos, guest speakers, communication activities, or role playing  for a better understanding of the topics. There are no desks, tables, or chairs - we meet in a comfortable living room setting. The teens help facilitate the group and their input and suggestions are used in planning the format.
The Bridge Weekly Drop-In Sessions give teens a chance to meet others of the same age from different areas and backgrounds. The atmosphere is very relaxed and each week is interesting and fun. WHEN: Every Tuesday - 7:30pm Sharp to 9:00pm WHERE: the 2nd Floor of the Ambivan Building 1492 Haddon Avenue 2 doors West of Our Lady Of Lourdes Medical Center AGES: 13 through 19 years COST: None In addition to our programs for 13 through 19-year-olds, we have established a number of pre-teen programs, which we call Mini-Bridge. This program was developed for those aged 9 through 12. Following the natural progression from there, we developed the Micro-Bridge for children aged 6 through 9. We have assisted other schools and communities in starting their own Bridge, Mini-Bridge, and Micro-Bridge sites throughout the Delaware Valley. |
