Mission Statement: Connections for Life, through the collaborative networking of support services, fosters the development of a healthy lifestyle pattern for women who are single and indigent, and who are in transition from dependence to independence. To accomplish this, Connections for Life will offer services in the area of need, including After Care (a support group), substance abuse meetings, assistance in finding housing and employment, education and individual counseling.
