Creating Safe Spaces for Collective Healing
Creating Safe Spaces for Collective Healing
Santiago Calatrava, Spanish Architect

One day, one connection, one story at a time.
The Bridges Project is a citywide healing-arts and suicide-awareness campaign that uses stories and string to model the architecture of connection. Explore the inaugural program that launched this movement and shows how we turn triggers into triumphs, stories into string, and bridges into symbols of hope.

This is our journey through the human condition where we are in the midst of a global humanitarian crisis, where over 750,000 people die by suicide each year.
Our founder, artist and Reiki Master Amy Campbell, created The Bridges Project as a response to this crisis.
"It is my hope that when you leave the Bridges Exhibit you should know, see and feel how much you are needed. How your thread, your contribution no matter how small, is a connection that builds a bridge that can save a persons life and light the way to collective wellness."
Over 230 people die by suicide every day in the U.S.
More still live in silence, stigma, and emotional overwhelm.
We built The Bridges Project because the systems meant to hold us are collapsing—and because connection is the one thing proven to save lives.
The Bridges Project is a year-long, kinetic suicide-awareness campaign and traveling interactive exhibit that turns community-woven looms into a large, living string art bridge of hope.
The Bridge brings together art, storytelling, education, and the healing arts to help people feel seen, heard, and less alone.
By the time the bridge is complete, our hope is to create 700,000 moments of connection—
our Bridge will be made up of over 700,000 strings, one for every life lost to suicide last year.
A reminder that we are just one connection away from wellness and that healing is something we build together.
