Success of “Virtual Connections” Leads to New Respite Option Through “Connected Pathways”
Coming together online to build friendships, social skills, and increased communication, “Virtual Connections” continued to go strong long after the pandemic. “Virtual Connections” on Tuesdays and Thursdays has become a well-attended gathering led and programmed by self-advocates.
All new, and expected to begin in April, Citizens’ “Connected Pathways” will host sessions Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. A respite service provided through Med Waiver, “Connected Pathways” will offer structured content, including special guest appearances, health and wellness sessions, and virtual community engagement activities. With a planned programming calendar, members can choose sessions of interest or join simply to be part of the group and fully engaged online.
This initiative builds on the agency’s commitment to providing respite and engaging, meaningful online experiences
