it was started by maxine harris and helen bergman. community connections provides a range of services. we have our community support teams, and there at least five specialties within those teams-addictions and co-occurring disorders, criminal justice involvement and recovery from the criminal justice system, wellness and recovery, and recovery from violent victimization. we also provide a host of other services. we have a psychiatric clinic, we work with children and adolescents, we have a huge housing program. so there's really a range of services that we offer here at the agency. i didn't know what direction i was in. i didn't know what's going to happen to me. i, i was on the verge of giving up life and everything, until community connections decided to take me in. there's people in here that know my name and know me, and i don't even know them, but i always hear them call my name out.
