LifeBridge Community Services

🧡 June 5 is National Gun Violence Awareness Day and part of Gun Violence Prevention Month.

At LifeBridge, we recognize the profound impact gun violence has on individuals, families, and communities, not only physically, but emotionally and psychologically. Healing, prevention, and community support all play an important role in creating safer, healthier communities for everyone.

We’re proud to stand alongside fellow community partners involved in the Mayor’s Community Violence Intervention (CVI) initiative at today’s Gun Violence Prevention Month Community Event, hosted by Career Resources. This community block party is centered on awareness, healing, connection, and building safer communities together.

🗓️ June 5
⏰ 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
📍 Went Field Park, Bridgeport

This free event is open to the public, and we invite community members to join us in support of peace, healing, and collective action.

For many members of the LGBTQ+ community, the journey toward feeling safe, accepted, and fully seen can come with stress, fear, isolation, rejection, or anxiety that others may not always understand.

If you’re struggling, please know this:

🫶 You are not alone.
🩵 You are not “too much.”
🥰 You deserve support, care, and spaces where you can show up exactly as you are.

At LifeBridge, we believe mental health support should be compassionate, affirming, and free from judgment or stigma. Asking for help is not weakness. It’s a meaningful step toward healing and well-being.

Whether you need someone to talk to, support navigating a difficult season, or simply a place where you feel welcomed and respected, we are here for you. ❤️

📞 Call us at 203–368–4291 to get started. In many cases, we can schedule an appointment within 48 hours.
