Our journey

Our journey at Journey Community Connections began with a personal experience that deeply shaped our mission and vision. It all started with our son, who had received his diagnosis at a young age. Like many parents, we found ourselves navigating an unfamiliar and often overwhelming landscape, trying to understand his needs, finding appropriate services, and ensuring that he received the support he deserved.

As we worked through the challenges that came next, we quickly realized a significant gap: the lack of personalized, comprehensive, and accessible services, especially in Regional and isolated towns of our local Area. 

 We felt the absence of a supportive, inclusive, and understanding community—one that truly puts the person at the center of their care.

Our experience was not unique. As we met other families facing similar struggles, we began to recognize that there were many individuals, both children and adults, who were struggling to access the right care or support to help them achieve their fullest potential.

The frustration of not finding the services we needed led us to a realization: there had to be a better way. This was the spark that ignited our vision for Journey Community Connections. We wanted to create an organization where families could turn to for personalized, high-quality support—an organization that would fill the gaps we had experienced and provide services tailored to each individual’s needs, goals, and aspirations.

So, we made it our mission to empower people with disabilities—just as we wished for our son—to live fulfilling, independent lives.

This was the foundation of Journey Community Connections—a place that would go beyond just providing services, but also offer hope, advocacy, and a sense of belonging.

At Journey Community Connections, we understand the challenges that families face when it comes to accessing appropriate care. Our mission is to be the support network that empowers individuals and families, offering guidance, assistance, and most importantly, a community where everyone feels valued, respected, and heard.

This journey has been a labor of love, shaped by our own experiences, and driven by the desire to make a difference in the lives of others. Together, we are helping to build a future where all individuals, regardless of their challenges, can achieve their goals and live with dignity and independence.
