The BRIDGe has been incorporated as a service-learning project into EDPS 50000: Group Counseling Theories and Techniques.  Graduate students enrolled in the School Counseling Master’s program and Counseling Psychology Doctoral program within the College of Education at Purdue University are the facilitators for the BRIDGe sessions.  In addition to their regular course work, all students helping with the BRIDGe receive specialized training in grief and bereavement and in facilitating groups.  Group sessions are supervised by licensed counseling professionals.
