LifeBridge traces a long history of service to the greater Bridgeport community. Founded in 1849 by a women’s group to help destitute children, LifeBridge has always been focused on helping those most vulnerable and disadvantaged. Services and programs have evolved and adapted over time to meet the needs of an ever-changing community. In 2016, Fairfield Counseling Service which has a long history of providing behavioral health services, merged with LifeBridge to provide an even stronger Integrated Behavioral Health Program. Services include mental health treatment, substance abuse counseling, and psychiatric medication. Using a multi-disciplinary team, licensed clinicians help individuals and their families achieve greater resiliency, including help with common psychiatric illnesses like depression and anxiety, gaining sobriety, and improving healthy communication between parents and children. A varied menu of services includes individual, family and group counseling for psychiatric and substance use disorders, as well as psychiatric evaluations and medications when needed. All services are collaborative in nature as individuals create, maintain and complete their customized service plans.
LifeBridge Community Services respectfully submits a budget request of $175,000 to assist us in meeting the continuing demand for prevention and mental health services. These funds supplement the cost of care as insurance reimbursement is not sufficient to cover the full cost. On behalf of our clients and staff, we are grateful for the support of the Town of Fairfield which allows us to provide a continuum of counseling services to help Fairfield residents. With your support, we help adults, youths, and families by providing the tools that strengthen their ability to cope, adapt, and overcome challenges. Our comprehensive services support people struggling with personal issues, family challenges, domestic violence, trauma, loss, and unemployment.
