  Our Beginnings ...

Connections began in 1993 as a community-based home visiting program. Shortly thereafter with feedback from participants, we recognized the need for group and prenatal support. Today we offer a continuum of prenatal, postnatal, and preschool services to families in Lanark County.

What Do We Do ...

  • Operate several community programs: Birth Companion , Good Food for a Healthy Baby, Home Visiting and Parent & Children's Groups.
  • Help parents improve their capacity to raise healthy children.
  • Increase the participation of vulnerable families in the community
  • Promote partnerships and collaboration among service providers to improve access and quality of service to vulnerable families

What Makes Us Unique...

  • Our programs offer not only a variety of support, but a progression of support.
  • Participation is voluntary. Parents choose what programs and activities in which they want to be involved.
  • Our programs are focused on prevention. Parents seek out information and assistance before they are in crisis.
  • Our programs are parent-directed. Parents expertise is recognized then strengthened and supported.
  • Our programs are flexible to both the individual and to the needs identified in a particular community.
