BridgeRoots' Journal Launch

Introducing the BridgeRoots Journal of Community Inclusion

HygieiaMed UK, in collaboration with the BridgeRoots CIC, is pleased to announce the launch of the BridgeRoots' Journal of Community Inclusion — a dedicated publication designed to document, share, and advance practice-based insights, outcome reports, and evidence-informed reflections emerging from BridgeRoots’ work in community settings.

This publication stands as an official record of the initiative’s evolving work, offering a formal platform to present findings, disseminate best practices, and give voice to the community-driven innovations shaping inclusive health and social care delivery today.

Mission and Scope

The BridgeRoots' Journal of Community Inclusion is conceived as a publication that bridges the gap between grassroots practice, applied research, and integrative approaches within the fields of community health, social inclusion, cultural resilience, and responsive care.

The journal will publish:

• Reports on community program outcomes and impact

• Practice-based evidence and applied research briefs

• Editorial and opinion pieces on inclusive models and strategies

• Case studies illustrating innovation in grassroots contexts

• Creative reflections contributing to the understanding of social transformation

Unlike informal blogs, this publication is positioned as a formal, curated space overseen by an editorial board, ensuring that each piece contributes to the evolving field of inclusive community practice and meets standards of clarity, relevance, and evidence alignment.

Editorial Statement

According to Dr. Neha Sharma, Founding Editor and Editorial Lead,

“This publication is not merely a communication tool; it is a living archive of the BridgeRoots initiative’s work and impact. Our goal is to provide a platform where real-world lessons, innovations, and outcome evidence can be formally documented and shared with stakeholders, partners, policymakers, and the broader community development field.”

She adds,

“By situating the voices of practitioners, community members, and collaborators within a formal publication framework, we aim to elevate the importance of applied, culturally responsive practice as a legitimate and critical form of knowledge.”

Initial Focus Areas

The first volume of the BridgeRoots' Journal of Community Inclusion will highlight:

• The Bridging Minds group therapy model and its outcomes in culturally diverse community mental health

• The HAYFREE integrative allergy management program and its reported 60–80% symptom reduction rates

• Reflections on family bonds, cultural continuity, and timeless traditions in sustaining community resilience

• Community-led creative initiatives using art, storytelling, and shared ritual as tools of inclusion

• Commentary on the intersection of astrology, psychology, and community well-being

A Commitment to Inclusion, Evidence, and Voice

The editorial team reaffirms its commitment to ensuring that the journal serves not only as an institutional record but as a platform amplifying community-generated knowledge, reflective practice, and applied outcomes. While formal in structure, the publication embraces a pluralistic view of knowledge — recognizing that stories, creative expressions, and cultural practices are as integral to understanding community impact as quantitative data or academic analyses.

Publication Access and Contact

The BridgeRoots' Journal of Community Inclusion will be made available as an open-access digital publication through HygieiaMed UK, ensuring broad reach across community partners, collaborators, and the public.
