I started out at Bridge's with very low self esteem. I still have to remember to tune out the negative voices when they show themselves; fortunately, Bridge's played a very important role in helping me build the toolbox of skills I needed to do that. Another aspect I really appreciate is that Bridge's opened up opportunities for me to learn how to communicate better. Even though I have already graduated I have been invited back to continue to improve my communication through a course that has been added. It is perfect timing too. Bridge's has helped me get a positive focus and continues to encourage me to reach my personal and career goals. Bridge's offers many valuable courses. I think it would have been even better if the program was funded to be a little bit longer. The challenges that came up were handled in a way that I could learn to deal with a variety of situations that could very well come up at any job. I wish some of my friends who do not live in the area could take the online program by Bridge's. Apparently after the three year pilot project was successful then they no longer had the funding for that part of Bridge's. I really hope this changes. They could be helping so many women in remote communities to be contributing so much more when they do their jobs in the community after building up their strengths.
