Bridgehaven, Inc. meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Bridgehaven's psychiatric rehabilitation, recovery and community integration services are based on a best practice model developed at the Boston Center of Psychiatric Rehabilitation. The program is a community based agency that has served adults with severe and persistent mental illness since 1958. Bridgehaven is open Monday through Friday with two evening programs and a community integration program on Saturday. The program offers group and individual counseling designed to assist the clients (referred to as members) in attaining their optimal level of functioning and wellness known as Recovery. Bridgehaven provides a wide range of activities such as outings into the community, art activities (with two annual art shows for our members), gardening and music with emphasis on providing opportunity for making friends and building social skills in a safe and accepting environment. Other opportunities to learn independent living skills such as cooking, budgeting, using public transportation as well as GED classes are offered. The agency also offers a dual diagnosis group for those with co occurring mental illness and substance abuse as well as a group for young adults with mental illness. Since 2008 Bridgehaven has offered an innovative smoking cessation program especially designed for those with mental illness.
