Bridging Hope features a committed, caring, and diligent group of leaders, professionals, and volunteers who support sexual assault survivors through compassionate and established methods. Working in a six-county region of North Georgia, our team assists sexual assault survivors, ages 13 and older, as well as their loved ones, regardless of when the sexual assault occurred. The team members of Bridging Hope are ready to listen and help anyone navigate the journey toward healing and hope, whenever you are ready to seek support.
