Connectedness

​        A new year brings new resolutions, and at HOPE, our goal for 2018 is to become more connected with the community around us.
      Connectedness is something to value. Being connected allows for positive relationships, genuine support systems and allows for someone to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
      Positivity makes living each day more enjoyable for everyone around you. Through having good attitudes, joy and love be a part of you every day, you begin to brighten up other people’s lives. HOPE strives to radiate positivity in the community. Our goal is to make positive connections with our employees and participants so that they look forward to being a part of our family.
          Through connecting with others, it builds a positive support system to lean on. In our lives, we all go through hardships that we can’t always handle on our own. Being connected with a support system is something we value and want to provide for our participants. We build genuine connections with all our members so that they know they are not alone, can lean on us when necessary and have someone to share their experiences with.
         Building connections with other people allows for us to realize just how big the world is. We can grow together and experience life together. We learn to care for each other and support each other, and through that it instills positivity within us.
            And before you go, be sure to make a connection with us by “Liking” us on our Facebook page!
