The Bridge Foundation congratulates Kimberly Febres, Clinical Supervisor, and the team at Caribbean Haven Residential Centre on the planned reopening of their women's residential programme, expected by December 2026. As our CEO Bud Volinsky told the Cayman Compass, the reopening "restores the Continuum of Care for women in recovery in the Cayman Islands." Recovery works best when every stage is connected. Caribbean Haven's six-bed women's unit provides dedicated residential t

Our sincere thanks to Sarah Bridge and the team at the Cayman Compass for their thoughtful coverage of the Phoenix House groundbreaking. Sarah wrote the story and took the photographs, and the Compass team has given Phoenix House outstanding support throughout Recovery Month. Thank you. On 18 September, The Bridge Foundation broke ground on Phoenix House, a purpose-built, gender-specific transitional home for women in recovery on Hell Road, West Bay. As our Chairman Scott Hau

On Compass TV's Daybreak (21 September 2026), Jillian Summers of The Bridge Foundation and Dr Ryan discussed rehabilitation, brain health and Phoenix House, our new transitional homes for women in recovery. Addiction is a health condition that affects the brain, and recovery from it is a process, not an event. The brain needs time to heal after treatment. That period is when people are most vulnerable, and when stable housing, structure and peer support count most. This is ex

Our CEO Bud Volinsky and Aftercare Manager Emma Powell joined Cayman Compass for an in-depth conversation about Phoenix House. It's The Bridge Foundation's new pair of transitional homes for women in recovery, now under construction on Hell Road, West Bay. Since 2016, women completing treatment in Cayman have had no dedicated transitional residence to move into. Phoenix House fills that gap. It offers a safe, structured home where women can consolidate their recovery, reconne

The Bridge Foundation welcomes the support of Hon. Nickolas DaCosta MP, Minister for District Administration and Home Affairs, for Cayman's Continuum of Care. A strong continuum means no one falls through the gaps between treatment and lasting recovery. Referral pathways, transitional housing, aftercare and employment all need to work together. That takes commitment from Government, service providers, employers and the wider community alike. As a service partner within the co

On 18 September, The Bridge Foundation broke ground on Phoenix House: two transitional homes for women in recovery from addiction, on land we own on Hell Road, West Bay. The Caymanian Journal has covered the story in full. Since our last women's home closed in 2016, women leaving treatment in Cayman have had few safe housing options. Phoenix House will provide the structured, supportive next step that helps recovery last. Because we own the site, these homes will be a permane
