Our Story

 

BridgeCare is comprised of passionate industry experts in cross-cultural adjustment, mental health counseling, and medical care. Many of us, before becoming scientists, doctors, corporate executives, were former international students. We understand how it feels to be thrust into a new environment, far from home.

 

We've conducted extensive research on the needs of international students, we've come to see that international students, especially teenagers, face the following major challenges: difficulty in adjusting to cross-cultural differences, serious gaps in required social and independent-living skills, all of which lead to high anxiety and stress in students. These needs from international students are pervasive, vastly underserved, and often fall through the cracks. BridgeCare was born to solve these challenges and enable international students to enjoy their study-abroad experience and optimize their academic performance. Our mission is to help international students tackle the tough challenges and help them achieve their goals.

 
Our Proactive Approach

 

BridgeCare believes that if students get proactive and adequate coaching along their journey, a mental health crisis can be prevented, and medical needs reduced.  
 

BridgeCare provides on-demand support via chat and culturally attuned virtual coaching, counseling, and medical resources students need to succeed from the privacy of their room, optimizing academic performance while enjoying their study abroad experience.
