The Program - Connects


The Connects Program is a four bed Live-In Program for youth ages 8-12 years who have status with Children's Services.

Passages offers a recreation, life skills and relationship-based program, with an average stay of 1 year.

The intention of the youth's stay is to create a sense of safety where youth can learn to name their feelings and create new ways of coping, to create a sense of community, become active in physical activity and play that is age appropriate.

As well as to work through childhood trauma and challenging behavior so that a youth can be successful in maintaining future foster placement or a successful transition back to their family (parental or kinship setting).


The programming at Connects focuses on cultivating a sense of belonging, provides structure and routine that builds on age appropriate life skills and staying physically active in the community.

The Connects Program provides youth with a safe and nurturing environment; individualized care plans; educational and recreational activities; and the development of daily routines.

The development of strong positive relationships is a key component of the overall success of the Connects Program.
