Responsibilities

The Bridge Way has, for over 35 years, connected with communities throughout Arkansas and beyond. The Bridge Way offers a continuum of services designed to help children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing behavioral, emotional, or addictive problems that can lead to fractured lives. Our team of professionals includes board-certified child/adolescent and adult psychiatrists, licensed clinical therapists, nurses, and mental health associates who are here to help people reconnect with their families, friends and employers so that they may lead productive lives.

Tucked within the wooded hills of Central Arkansas, The Bridge Way is just moments away from the major highways that unite Arkansans throughout the state. Founded in 1983 and accredited by The Joint Commission, our quiet campus has retained much of the cozy charm and character that existed then.
