This year, The Bridge is partnering with Community Justice Initiatives Waterloo Region in increasing the use of the evidence based Stride Model with our work with incarcerated and formally incarcerated clients as they prepare for life in the community.  Bridge and CJWR have been working closely to continue delivering the programming using the Stride Model at Maplehurst Correctional Facility and also plans to incorporate the model into our Social Connections Group in Halton.  For more information, please visit our Social Connections Group (Stride Model) page.  We are excited for the opportunity to advance collaborative practice between Ontario-based reintegration agencies  and are thankful for the contribution of CJWR to the work of The Bridge in Hamilton and Halton.
