How does Connect help?

  • "Connect helped me to see things from my kid's perspective and ways that her past shapes her behaviors. I can now see what I can do differently to hopefully prevent things from getting out of control."

  • "Connect kept my attention! I didn't want to miss a session even when I had a lot going on at home. The facilitators were really supportive and 'real' with us. Normally I just sit back in training sessions, but in Connect, the facilitators were really engaging and it was easy to participate."

  • "Connect really brought it into 'I hear you, I'm listening and I'm sitting in it with you'. As foster parents, I think that is probably the biggest key of all when these kiddos come into your home. Connect has been such a benefit to us and if I could become an advocate for foster parents, this course was so vital and should be introduced to all foster parents."
