What is BRIDGES?
The Bridges program provides short-term, intensive assistance to Milford High School students returning after an experience that has had significant emotional impact in addition to causing lost school time, and to these students’ families. We help students and their families manage the reentry and reintegration to school by supporting their academic, social and emotional needs.

Bridges is a short-term program and students typically participate for four to twelve weeks.
Bridges is housed in room B59 on the 2nd floor of MHS.
Bridges may also support students that have not been hospitalized but are regularly missing school and class time due to emotional issues. We use a strengths based model and work hard to build trust and communication with students.
