Bridge club is a lunchtime/study hall club offered to kids of Middleton High School and Clark Street School.  The focus of the club is to proactively nurture mental health by learning to access happy hormones (endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin)  We do this by SHOWING kids how it is done in simple everyday activities such as playing with an animal, listening to music, taking a walk, volunteer projects and connecting.  These are "skills" that kids can take with them wherever they go and apply to everyone.  We liken Bridge club to the "gym" of mental health, just as exercise affects physical health.
