Positive Connections is here to help children understand how emotional/mental and/or behavioral difficulties impact them and the family. Positive Connection’s staff works to help children better understand how to manage these difficulties, on a daily basis, and how to build a support network that they can turn to in a time of need.

When struggling with a family member’s illness, children are often not part of the parent’s treatment plan and no one ever talks with the child to help them understand why their family member is struggling.

When the child is struggling with such difficulties parents are often overwhelmed with the child’s treatment planning that many times the child is left without explanation of what is happening to them and why they feel and act in a certain way.
