Creating Safe Spaces for Collective Healing
Creating Safe Spaces for Collective Healing
Welcome to a work in progress. Welcome to the human experience. This is OUR story.
What happens when you reimagine mental health from the inside out?
You build a bridge—with stories and string. The Way Across is a raw, real-time documentary that follows the visionary quest of The Bridge Project to END suicide—and along the way discovers a new model of mental health care.
This isn’t just a film.
It’s a movement.
A movement to elevate lived experience.
To ignite compassion.
Because real change starts within—and ripples outward.
Your support helps fund healing arts programming, amplify unheard voices, and build a bridge from illness to wellness.

We are excited to announce that Flatbread Media is Bridges Project Storytelling Sponsor.

Together, we can inspire change, one frame at a time.

Welcome to Loving the Artist Within, where we speak to local folks who are living their purpose unapologetically.
Central to the journey to wellness is remembering who you and learning to love the artist within you, appreciating the distinct qualities—both light and shadow—that make you beautifully unique.
