Do I Need Support?
The Bridge to Hope aims to support survivors and prevent abuse at any stage. If you feel that you or someone you know may be a victim of abuse, please do not hesitate to reach out. The Bridge to Hope provides support and resources to survivors of abuse.
​
We maintain a 24/7 call and text hotline to provide emergency support at any time. Services include support groups, legal advocacy, and a pantry and many more. These services are at no cost to you, allowing you to focus on recovery.
Meet With an Advocate
It is hard to ask for help, and we understand that. That is why our first step in any situation is to have a one on one conversation with an advocate. Our personalized help aims to guide you through your recovery. We are here to help you every step of the way.
Our Assistance
We are here to help. After meeting with an advocate, we will guide you towards the service best fit to you such as:

Legal Advocacy
Bridge to Hope is available to guide you through the legal system. We are not allowed to give legal advice. But, we are able to guide and inform you of your decisions through legal processes as legal advocates.
​
Our advocates can help you fill out legal documents, inform you on the legal system, and go with you to legal events as support.
Support Group
In and out of shelter, we offer support groups for survivors and those willing to provide support. On every third Thursday, we offer a public support group from 1-2pm. We meet in the Menomonie Public Library to provide support to those in your community.
​
Our staff leads these groups with the goal of an open conversation. We also provide childcare and a youth support group during the same period. If this interests you, reach out to us so we can be sure to help as many people as possible.
Community Outreach
We value every member of our community. Our program connects with churches, schools, and community events to educate the public. Prevention is important. The best way to prevent abuse is to spread awareness of what it is and how to get support.
