Our Work / The Model

Strengthening communities to support women affected by psychological trauma

THE BoR SYSTEM

A Trusted, Scalable Model for Healing

For generations, women have supported one another on their healing journeys. Bridges of Resilience builds on this enduring tradition by strengthening and formalizing peer support through technology—making care more accessible, structured, and scalable for communities everywhere.

AI never replaces human connection; it enhances it, helping ensure support is timely, relevant, and within reach for those who need it most.

01

Detection & Trauma-Informed “First-Aid”

Frontline workers and community leaders receive:
  • Simple trauma identification tools
  • Culturally adapted check-ins and screening prompts
  • Digital micro-trainings on what to say and do
  • A “first-aid” guide to stabilize emotional distress
  • A direct pathway to connect survivors to the mentorship system
BoR enables early intervention, before crises escalate.

02

Community Mentorship (Digital Matching System)

A safe, structured digital mentorship platform matches survivors with trained mentors based on:
  • Shared experiences
  • Cultural or contextual similarities
  • Type of trauma
  • Age, language, or other relevant factors
Mentors receive ongoing digital guidance, community supervision, and resources to support their role.

03

Direct Woman-User App: Resources, Guidance & Tools

  • AI-supported guidance that adapts tools and resources to their needs
  • Psychoeducation modules
  • Safety planning
  • Emotional regulation tools
  • Step-by-step supportive exercises
  • Pathways to mentorship
  • Encouragement and validation in moments of crisis
This app ensures that no woman is ever left without support, even if services around her are limited or nonexistent.

04

Data & Insights for Systems Change

Aggregated, anonymized data reveals:
  • Prevalence of psychological trauma across communities
  • Which types of support are most effective
  • Common barriers to care
  • Trends that can inform policy, funding, and program design
This turns individual experiences into collective power.

A Simple, Powerful, Affordable Model

Women have been supporting each other in healing for generations.
Bridges of Resilience formalizes and strengthens this natural support system through technology, making it accessible, structured, and scalable for communities everywhere.

BoR uses lightweight, on-device AI to strengthen human-led support across all three prongs of the system — frontline workers, community mentors, and the women using the app.

AI helps frontline workers recognize trauma earlier and direct women to the most appropriate resources. It supports mentors with real-time guidance as they navigate difficult conversations. And for women using the app, AI personalizes tools, safety guidance, and emotional support based on their needs and context.

In the background, anonymized data is analyzed to reveal patterns, inform research, and generate insights that can guide policy, improve programs, and help funders invest in what works.

AI never replaces human care, it enhances it, making support more timely, relevant, and accessible, while turning individual experiences into knowledge that can strengthen systems of care.

When Support Is Accessible, Healing Is Possible

Join us in building systems of care that are compassionate, ethical, and human-centered.

This work exists because women’s resilience deserves to be supported.

Bridges of Resilience is building tools, training, and pathways so women recovering from trauma from underserved communities, and the people who support them, are never alone.

This work is grounded in research, fieldwork, and deep respect for lived experience. If it resonates with you, you’re warmly invited to be part of what we’re building.

Every contribution helps us build responsibly and ethically.
