COMING SOON

The BRIDGE Family Resource Connector Network seeks to create a system of place-based Family Resource Centers in locations where families already have trusted relationships. Sites will provide equitable access to service partners in Omaha in an effort to reduce involvement in the child welfare and juvenile justice system. Through a “no wrong door” approach, The BRIDGE will work to transform system prevention in Omaha.
