programs are innovative and offered in three different formats: the Bridges Employment Program at the Victoria Campus, an eLearning course format offered online at our Women's eLearning Centre, and the Mentoring Program which is offered on Campus.

Bridges works in partnership with Camosun College and other Community Partners to provide education and occupational advances along the way. We support women trauma and abuse survivors to acquire personal and essential skills that allow them to find and keep fulfilling employment.

We also provide women and the general public with opportunities to volunteer alongside our professional staff.

For over 20 years, Bridges has developed their own Curriculum designed to help people recognize and change abuse-related patterns. Our Curriculum focuses on improving work-related skills, renewing focus on the world of work, developing a vision of the future, planning goals to move forward and to build personal & financial independence.

Students gain skills such as self-awareness; confidence; the ability to set achievable goals; give and receive feedback; and practice effective communication. Students identify how the impacts of abuse affect their lives and develop strategies to overcome.
