About Bridges Community Support Services, Inc in Orlando, FL

Today, we provide community-based behavioral health and social services as a community mental health center in Orlando, FL, recognizing that housing, work, family, and financial stability all influence well-being.
In 2015, we expanded our mission through SHIP, the Supporting Housing Individual Program, bringing volunteers, donors, and community partners together to help individuals build greater stability, independence, and hope.
