**Connective Support Society**:
Connective Support Society is a social services nonprofit operating in BC and the Yukon to create safe, healthy, and inclusive communities for all. Our organization’s story began nearly 60 years ago with the mission of providing effective, just, and humane responses to the causes and consequences of the justice system that fosters a safe and supported community. In 2022, we launched our new brand identity as Connective in order help differentiate our growth and support our expansion into service areas driven by the needs of diverse communities. The Connective approach is person-centered, holistic, and inclusive - we provide programs and services with essential supports to vulnerable and marginalized community members, including those involved in the criminal justice system, experiencing homelessness, employment barriers, problematic substance use, mental health challenges, developmental disabilities, or spectrum disorders.
