FBR Bridges to Hope, Family Behavioral Resources’ non-profit affiliate, was founded in 2004 (formerly The FBR Foundation). Rick J. Murray, LSW, BCBA, and Chief Operating Officer of FBR serves as the organization’s Vice-President. FBR Bridges to Hope was created to increase the awareness, education and programming for those with or working with persons who have behavioral or mental health diagnoses, including Autism Spectrum Disorders. FBR Bridges to Hope has been used to sponsor a number of efforts throughout the year, including a local challenger sports league (for children with disabilities), seminars for local support organizations, conferences (two of which have featured world-renowned authors), and Autism research.

Each year, FBR Bridges to Hope raises thousands of dollars for the FBR H.O.P.E. for Tomorrow Team, participating in both the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community and Walk Now for Autism. Upcoming programming efforts include expansion of community outreach services, community social skill groups, and transitional services for adolescents and adults.
