Judy Harroff, B.A.

Judy is a life skills trainer at The Bridge. She earned her undergraduate degree in education from Ball State University and is currently pursuing graduate studies. Judy says that she has used every medicator known to man, from drugs in her hippie days to perfectionism and workaholism in adulthood. After years of teaching, counseling and overworking, she hit bottom and found herself drinking again because her more socially-approved addictions weren't working anymore. She came to The Bridge as a client in 1994 to "address her issues" but admits that her hidden agenda was to fix her spouse. When she left 99 days later, she had a sense of self for the first time in her life. She has worked a rigorous program of recovery from then until now. Like an ideal big sister, Judy freely shares her experience from the standpoint of a recovering "relationship junkie" who tried to fill the hole in her soul with people, places and things. Her specialty is what she calls "rebirthing midwifery" and "inner parent life skills coaching." She has recently semi-retired but still serves Bridge clients whenever possible.

He and his wife Tammy are employing recovery principles in the parenting of their two beautiful young sons, Jake and Jack. Greg is a 1988 alumnus of The Bridge.

Tina Craft

Tina has been a friend of The Bridge for many years before joining the staff. For 15 years, she volunteered to give periodic 4th Step (personal inventory) workshops for Bridge clients and became a mentor to many. Her journey of recovery began 19 years ago when she found that she had lost herself and her enthusiasm for life. The ways she'd been taught to manage her life no longer worked. With the help of loving mentors, she began a lifelong journey of recovery using the twelve steps of A.A. Her attendance as a client ar our codependency workshop helped her understand and deal with some of the roadblocks she was experiencing in her recovery. Because she is so grateful for the joy her Twelve-Step journey has given her, she has a passion for sharing what she has learned.
