Participant Infomation

“Build Confidence in You”

Connections works!

The Connections Program matches eligible participants with caring and well trained volunteers for an initial period of 12 months. Through healthy, supportive relationships based around shared common interests, participants can improve their confidence and quality of life. Connections is designed to gently strengthen those on the program to reach their personal goals and reconnect with the mainstream community.

As a participant you can:

• improve your confidence 
• feel better about yourself 
• create healthier relationships 
• develop your life skills through the personal confidence workshops
• feel a part of the mainstream community 
• grow in an accepting and encouraging environment

The volunteer and participant meet together regularly for an hour or more to:

• go for a walk 
• have a coffee 
• see a movie 
• attend a sporting event 
• become involved in a mainstream community group 
• learn new life skills
