OUR NAME...

WHEN WE SEEK FOR CONNECTION,
WE RESTORE THE WORLD TO WHOLENESS.
OUR SEEMINGLY SEPARATE LIVES BECOME MEANINGFUL
AS WE DISCOVER HOW TRULY NECESSARY
WE ARE TO EACH OTHER.
-MARGARET WHEATLEY

Connections, Inc. founder Jenifer Asher, chose this name for our agency as it best represented our corporate values and deep appreciation for the connectedness that naturally exists between humans.  Our positive interdependence upon one another is an essential component of all human service provision and shall remain our primary focus.

We believe the provision of exceptional mental health services is highly dependent upon the interpersonal relationships that exist between the persons served, their families, and their service providers.  Thus, the growth and development of positive, trusting relationships shall remain a priority and will always be encouraged.

We also deeply respect and appreciate the relationships we have established with community leaders and other support professionals with whom we interact.  These connections provide invaluable resources and opportunities for our agency and the persons we serve.  The value of these relationships; thus, becomes immeasurable.

Finally, it is our corporate philosophy to promote an atmosphere of trust, respect, and collaboration among Connections, Inc.’s support professionals.  We believe that our agency mission will be best served by the wisdom of our collective experiences and decisions.  Thus, our organization is structured to encourage positive, trusting relationships, open communication, and an atmosphere of close, interdependence among us.

In the end, we believe it is our efforts to maintain the integrity of these connections, which shall, as individuals or collectively as an agency, continue to make us stronger.
