About Bridge Generations Society
A non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing intergenerational care across Metro Vancouver through community-based, trauma-informed services.
Our Mission
To enhance intergenerational care in Metro Vancouver by providing community-based, trauma-informed services for seniors and youth experiencing challenges with healthcare, housing, independent living, or substance use. We support individuals and families to realize their full potential while strengthening social connections and reducing intergenerational isolation.
Our Vision
A Metro Vancouver where every generation is valued, connected, and supported. We envision communities where seniors and youth thrive together — sharing wisdom, building resilience, and creating a legacy of care that spans generations. A region where trauma-informed support is the standard, not the exception.
Communities We Serve
Our services reach across Metro Vancouver, ensuring no community is left behind.
Our Values
The principles that guide every decision we make and every life we touch.
Compassion
We lead with empathy, meeting every individual where they are with patience, dignity, and genuine care.
Safety
Physical and emotional safety is the foundation of every service we provide and every space we create.
Inclusion
We celebrate diversity and ensure our services are accessible, culturally safe, and welcoming to all.
Sustainability
We build programs that endure — investing in community capacity, partnerships, and long-term change.
Trauma- and Violence-Informed Principles
Following the Public Health Agency of Canada's framework, we embed these principles into everything we do.
Understand Trauma and Its Impacts
We train staff to recognise how violence and trauma affect behaviour, and focus on individuals' strengths rather than deficits. Every interaction begins with curiosity, not judgment.
Create Safe Environments
Our spaces are designed to be welcoming and private. We ensure confidentiality, allow clients to bring support persons, and communicate clearly and transparently at every step.
Foster Choice and Collaboration
We offer flexible service options, consult clients in decision-making, and are transparent about processes. Connection is built through mutual respect, not authority.
Strengths-Based Capacity Building
We help participants identify their own skills and resiliencies. We provide long enough engagement to build genuine trust, because transformation takes time and patience.
