Lisa DeMatteis-Lepore Chief Executive Officer of The Connection discussed how the agency was formed as a community response to the devastation being wrought on families by the problems of abuse, neglect, addiction, and crime. The Connection has since been a leader in creating effective, community-based treatment programs. Many of their programs have been the first of their kind in the state. They have a strong history of working in true partnership with our primary funding sources — Connecticut’s Department of Children and Families, Court Support Services Division, Department of Correction, Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and others — to develop, test, and implement innovative solutions to complex human problems.
Life is not always easy. Many people struggle with major challenges like poverty, homelessness, substance use, mental illness, abuse and neglect, or trauma.
