  • WHAT WE DO (differently)

    We're on a mission. Now more than ever, teens and young adults are struggling to transition into adulthood. The rate at which young adults reach markers of adulthood has slowed dramatically in the past decade. Delays in establishing financial stability, close relationships and school or work achievements can leave many feeling lost and overwhelmed. For individuals with social and emotional disorders, the challenge of forging a path toward independence and happiness is even more daunting. Without confidence, experience and support many young adults find themselves shut out of social, educational and employment opportunities and struggle to finding meaning and purpose in their lives.    At Great Connection, we provide structure and guidance to help individuals adjust to the challenges of adulthood. Through specialized instruction and communal opportunities we assist individuals in living fuller and happier lives - connecting them to people, ideas and opportunities.   We respect everyone's individuality. We foster organic peer relationships and support age-appropriate activities. Always promoting skills, our instruction is based on the neurological and cognitive underpinnings of social and emotional development. We motivate our clientele through instruction and activities that encourage interpersonal relationships, emotional well-being, independent thought and personal achievements.
