On Making Connections...
Connections take place everyday in many different venues all over the world. As
people in the human services field we understand the importance of making
connections. It is through connection that relationships are formed and developed and
ultimately sustained. The power of those relationships is what creates opportunities
for positive change. If connection is not made between all of us working with at-risk
children, youth, and families and between the agencies that support them, then how
can relationships and positive change occur? The 2010 National Child and Youth
Care Conference is an opportunity for us to examine the importance of making
connections with those at the direct service, agency, provincial, and national level.
From the perspectives of the professionals, the service providers, and the
organizations, we will look at the "how and why" we make connections. Our ability to
explore and understand the multiple ways we connect everyday allow us to move
forward in our profession and strengthen our skills. Think about the impact that
connection has on the children, youth, and families with which we work. Think about
how that connection supports the work we do and its success. Think about how
connection can challenge the relationship resistant youth. Think how connection can
change the outcomes for children, youth, and families that utilize the services that we
provide. We invite you to join us to create your own connections and explore the
possibilities that connections can create.
