Connections offers counseling services, substance abuse prevention/resiliency education, and residential services for children from the ages of 5 through the age of 21. The agency's two emergency shelters serve youth ages 5 through high school graduation that are either homeless, running away, or experiencing family conflict, as well as youth who have entered the state's foster care system due to abuse or neglect. The agency also provides a longer-term Transitional Living Program for youth ages 5-21 who are in the state's foster care system and are preparing for living on their own as adults. Counseling services are offered for youth and families in 11 counties in south and south-central Texas. Substance misuse prevention services are offered in 17 counties that overlap the agency's counseling service area.
