CONNECT GROUPS | possibilityplace

We are excited to begin our Connect Groups, led by Amanda Myers, PhD, LMFT & Kevin Vaughn, M.A.MFT, M.Ed. They will be meeting with ALL Pals through pop-in visits to classrooms. We’re also beginning a Men’s Connect Group and a Women’s Connect Group! Each month, Pals can expect to connect with God, self, and others through a variety of activities.

April newsletter

In the month of April, our connect team has been meeting with our pals both individually as needs arise and in larger groups! During morning meeting time, we have started implementing CONNECT moments and talking about our core value of the month. Dr. Amanda, Mrs. Madison, and Mr. Kevin have also continued to meet with the pals in their classrooms to foster connections with God, self, and others using some fun and creative activities. The pals have continued to bring amazing wisdom, light, and vulnerability to the table during this time and we believe God is using it in mighty ways. To Him be the glory!

As you may recall, we developed and shared our core values in February: Love, Respect, Purpose, and Community. In April, we learned specifically about RESPECT! We created respect chains that display how we can show respect to God, others, and ourselves.
Go ahead and ask what Connect is all about. I bet you hear from many of the Pals that Connect is all about “Connecting with God, self, and others!” In May, we will explore a new core value – PURPOSE.

Dr. Amanda and Mr. Kevin will be leading our May
Caregiver Connection night on May 13th! This will
provide you with an introduction and overview of the Murray Method, which is the framework we utilize with our pals during our CONNECT time! We’ll talk about how, as caregivers, we often compromise our own needs and sacrifice our connections with God, ourselves, and others. This meeting will give you a map of how to move forward so you can start living a healthier and balanced life. We hope you will join us and take this opportunity to pour back into yourself.
