The Bridge is a community-based research centre located in downtown Ottawa. Under the direction of Dr. Smita Pakhale, The Bridge was established to improve quality of life of the people in a community-based participatory action research framework, which emphasis a true partnership with the target population: The urban poor population, including people who are: homeless, at-risk for homelessness, Indigenous, and/or are experience poverty. Our goal is to co-create and investigate innovative evidence-based sustainable solutions addressing the root causes of poor health – namely isolation, mental illness, poverty, and trauma. Ultimately, we aim to realize the full potential of people and improve the health and well-being of vulnerable communities!
