The Bridge Program
New Mental Health Support for UD Residents from UDPD
I brought together the Montgomery County Mobile Crisis Unit and the UD Police Chief Fran Wheatly to explore expanded services for the residents of UD. The result – The Bridge.
Thanks to Chief Wheatley and the Upper Dublin Police Department, a new mental health service is available to UD residents that will deliver quick and appropriate emergency mental health support. I strongly supported Chief Wheatley and the UDPD working with the Mobile Crisis Unit of Montgomery County to create The Bridge Program.
Chief Wheatley and his department did a commendable job in fleshing out The Bridge Program and have provided a workable structure that will ensure coordination of services. The Bridge Program has proven to be a benefit to our community.
Upper Dublin Police Community Resources Unit (CRU) provides two crisis services for residents of Upper Dublin: The Bridge and The HUB. These two programs are described in the links below.
