Connections Halifax, Part I

Connections Halifax exists to help people living with a mental illness discover and realize their path to self sufficiency. It is distinguished by a culture that is deeply rooted in innovation, personal discovery and the belief that everyone has untapped potential.The guiding principle is simple: by recognizing and strengthening the assets and skills of people, families and communities, we're more likely to inspire transformation than by focusing on our deficits.

Connections helps people discover and realize their path to self-sufficiency. We are a membership organization offering an integrated network of opportunities for housing, employment, education, advocacy, peer support, healthy lifestyle education and community research. All of these opportunities are designed to reconnect people to their community and find meaningful ways to contribute to their own sense of pride, accomplishment and self-worth. People who are recovering from a mental illness have indicated that recovery must involve the whole person and that these services provide the critical foundation in order to successfully move forward with their lives. Our ultimate outcome is that people become active citizens fully accessing all the rights and responsibilities our community offers.
