Introduction to Zach's Bridge

What People Say about Zach's Bridge

“Zach’s Bridge has literally been the sun on my darkest days. My peer mentor always responds to me and checks in on me on my hard days. She gets what I am trying to say when I can’t put it into words.
She never judges and is a safe place for me to vomit my thoughts. I feel so connected and like I have a friend for life.”

Cassie Zurlinden

Jayden's Mom

"There are very few free and virtual psychosocial supports available for parents grieving their child. Zach's Bridge is such a special and important organization that provides these parents with validation and support they need.
The peer-to-peer support and virtual check ins are invaluable."

Tara James, LCSW, LAAT, ATR-P

“Zach’s Bridge peers connected with a family I support, and helped them feel like they weren’t alone.”

Karelyn Gonzalez-Cruz, PhD

“I thought I was going crazy. I can breathe again.”

A parent after their first meeting with their Zach’s Bridge peer

“We ended up getting an autopsy because of what you told us.
My experience connecting with you has been amazing. I think hearing from someone that is in the same situation will always be superior to even the best counselor. Much, much needed resource.”
