In 2025, Bridgeways strengthened its role as a leading nonprofit provider of mental health services in Snohomish County. Across criminal justice diversion, supported employment, supported housing, and Clubhouse programs, Bridgeways delivered measurable outcomes that advanced stability, independence, and community connection for individuals living with mental health challenges.
Through strong partnerships, evidence-based practices, and person-centered support, Bridgeways helped individuals move forward—reducing system involvement, increasing economic independence, and fostering long-term recovery.
Bridgeways’ criminal justice mental health programs continued to provide critical intervention for individuals involved in or at risk of involvement in the justice system. Working in close collaboration with courts, law enforcement, and community partners, Bridgeways prioritized diversion, stabilization, and access to treatment. Participants were supported with case management, court liaison services, housing referrals, and connections to behavioral health care—helping reduce recidivism while improving individual and community outcomes.
In 2025, Bridgeways’ annual fundraising efforts raised over $130,000 to directly support Bridgeways Social and Community Services. These funds were generated through community events, corporate sponsorships, and individual donations.
Fundraising revenue played a critical role in sustaining and expanding programs across criminal justice services, supported employment, supported housing, and Clubhouse operations. Donor investment helped fill funding gaps, respond to emerging needs, and ensure services remained accessible to individuals who rely on Bridgeways for stability and support.
Access to meaningful employment remains a key driver of mental health recovery. In 2025, Bridgeways’ supported employment programs helped individuals secure and maintain competitive jobs through individualized coaching, employer engagement, and ongoing support. Bridgeways focused not only on job placement, but on job retention and career growth; supporting long-term economic stability and workforce inclusion.
Stable housing is foundational to mental health and overall well-being. Bridgeways’ supported housing programs provided safe, affordable housing paired with supportive services that helped individuals maintain stability and avoid homelessness. By integrating housing support with mental health services, Bridgeways continued to improve housing retention and long-term outcomes.
Bridgeways Clubhouse programs offered a structured, recovery-oriented environment where members can build skills, confidence, and social connection. Grounded in the internationally recognized Clubhouse model, these programs emphasized purpose, peer support, and meaningful participation. The Clubhouse remained a vital resource for fostering independence, dignity, and belonging.
In 2025, Bridgeways hosted a Clubhouse Open House designed to deepen community awareness and strengthen partnerships around mental health services in Snohomish County. The event invited community leaders, elected officials, and organizational partners to experience firsthand the impact of Bridgeways’ Clubhouse programs.
More than 40 community leaders attended, including Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin, engaging with staff and members to learn about Bridgeways’ recovery-oriented approach, employment pathways, and community-based support services. The Open House created meaningful opportunities for dialogue, collaboration, and shared understanding of the critical role Clubhouse programs play in promoting stability and belonging.
Building on the success of this event, Bridgeways looks forward to hosting additional community engagement opportunities in 2026, further strengthening relationships, expanding visibility, and advancing collective solutions to mental health challenges across the region.
The impact achieved in 2025 reflects Bridgeways’ continued commitment to providing comprehensive mental health services that strengthen individuals and communities. As demand for behavioral health, housing, and diversion services grows, Bridgeways remains focused on innovation, collaboration, and equity.
With the support of staff, funders, donors, and community partners, Bridgeways will continue expanding access to mental health services that promote stability, recovery, and long-term success.
