Clear boundaries

Useful for a next step. Not qualified for clinical care.

A warm interface does not make Bridge a therapist, emergency responder, or source of medical judgment.

What this preview offers

Rule-selected, prepared replies for a limited set of topics—not live AI.
Guided prompts for drafting a message or sorting a practical task.
A searchable directory of campus and community support links.
Always-visible access to urgent-help information.

What is not available

Coping exercises are unavailable pending professional review. Live AI is off. Scripted replies do not demonstrate how a live model would handle a real conversation.

5-4-3-2-1 grounding — source checked

Based on published Royal Berkshire NHS guidance. Source checked on September 7, 2026. Bridge’s adaptation has not been independently reviewed.

This check covers the five-sense sequence only—not Bridge’s suggested duration, when it selects an exercise, or the other coping exercises. It is not professional approval or an endorsement of Bridge.

Read the NHS grounding leaflet (PDF, opens in a new tab). See the 5-4-3-2-1 technique on page 2 of the April 2026 leaflet.
