CHECK & CONNECT
Parents want their children to attend school, participate and succeed
academically. But sometimes difficulties interfere with parents
focusing intensely on their children’s school performance. That’s
why Check and Connect uses mentors to address deeply and
continuously a student’s performance and record; based on his or
her review, the mentor then arranges for services that will help the
student succeed.
The expected result is that the studentwill then be able to connect to
the school, to further his or her academic achievement.
To participate in the program, your child must value completing
school, even if problems have arisen that interfere with that
goal. And you as parents/ guardians must support the work of the
mentors, communicating with the student, the teacher, and the
school to achieve success for your child.
The mentor and student will develop a trusting relationship, based on
shared goals and commitment. The student must want to succeed,
and the mentor supports that ambition by working with the student,
and arranging for other services to help the child.

project of the legal services agencies in Connecticut. We are the first
place a client should call with an HIV related legal issue. We are a
statewide program that gives legal information, advice, brief service,

HIV have legal remedies and the "ALN" has a panel of attorneys
throughout the state who are willing and able to represent people
with HIV for free. Our program is endorsed by the Connecticut Bar
Association and together we offer training and publications for clients
and providers. HOW TO ACCESS OUR SERVICES: Clients, service
providers, and interested persons from throughout the state are
invited to call us with their legal questions, or problems. Our intake
procedure can be conducted in person or over the phone, depending
on a personís ability to travel. Eventually, proof of HIV status and
income information is required for our services, but we will first listen
to the initial question or problem.

cultural exchange experience, which often leads to a lasting
relationship with the host family.EduCare Companions are au pairs
who care exclusively for older children who are in school for full
days. Au Pairs on our Standard or Extraordinaire programs care for
children of all ages - infants from three months of age, pre-school
and school age.The Au Pair/Companion\'s responsibilities do not
include housework unrelated to the children such as cleaning the
home or doing all the laundry. They are not professionally trained
child care workers or capable of running an entire household when
parents are absent for business or personal travel. Responsibility for
the welfare of the children always remains with the parents. If you
are eager to learn about another culture by hosting a young person
who, in turn, provides child care, then one of our program options
can meet your expectations. Contact Anabel Martinez for specific
information.

MULTI-SYSTEMIC THERAPY
Multi-systemic Therapy is a short-term community-based therapy
program designed to serve adolescents and their families by
respecting individual differences in families. Therapists meet with
families in the home environment in order to collaborate in ways that
help youth prosper. In contrast to traditional therapy programs, MST
does not solely focus on individual talk therapy, but rather treatment
plans incorporate both individual strengths of the adolescent and the
strengths of other ìsystemsî (e.g. family, peers, school, and
community) that play a role in an adolescentís life. The MST
therapist will work with the family and other key figures in the childís
life to create interventions that keep children at home and out of the
Juvenile Justice System.

PEGASUS THERAPEUTIC RIDING
Pegasus Therapeutic Riding provides equine assisted activities and
therapies to children and aadults with physical, cognitive and
emotional disabilities.
Programs are offered at the Pegasus Farm in Brewster, NY and at
four other chapters:
VARIOUS LOCATIONS
T : 845-669-8235
New Canaan Mounted Troop in New Canaan, CT
Ox Ridge Hunt Club in Darien, CT
Kelsey Farm in Greenwich, CT
Fox Hill Farm in Pleasantville, NY
Therapeutic riding horses are chosen for their smooth, rhythmic,
even gait and calm, compassionate temperament. In therapeutic
riding, the horse's motion massages the rider's muscles. As the
horse literally walks for the rider, a three-dimensional movement is
achieved. Just as in walking, the pelvic region is moved forward
diagonally (left/right or right/left); up and down and side to side,
helping spastic muscles relax, and challenging muscles not ordinarily
used, in ways that other therapies cannot reproduce.

AIDS LEGAL NETWORK FOR CONNECTICUT
LEGAL MATTERS
The AIDS Legal Network for Connecticut (ALN) is a collaborative
project of the legal services agencies in Connecticut. We are the first
place a client should call with an HIV related legal issue. We are a
statewide program that gives legal information, advice, brief service,
representation and referral to people living with HIV/AIDS in
Connecticut. We also provide legal education and legal technical
assistance to people working within the HIV service community and
to family members/support givers. There are no other programs
within the state offering legal case management services specifically
for people with HIV. Many of the situations confronting persons with
HIV have legal remedies and the "ALN" has a panel of attorneys
throughout the state who are willing and able to represent people
with HIV for free. Our program is endorsed by the Connecticut Bar
Association and together we offer training and publications for clients
and providers. HOW TO ACCESS OUR SERVICES: Clients, service
providers, and interested persons from throughout the state are
invited to call us with their legal questions, or problems. Our intake
procedure can be conducted in person or over the phone, depending
on a personís ability to travel. Eventually, proof of HIV status and
income information is required for our services, but we will first listen
to the initial question or problem.

MENTAL HEALTH
The Mental Health Association has developed programs for
elementary, middle and high school students to increase awareness
and understanding about depression and help to prevent
self-medication with alcohol and other drugs. The more informed
young people are about the symptoms and treatment of depression,
the more prepared they will be to seek help for themselves and their
peers. Topics covered are: definition of major depression; signs and
symptoms of depression; suicide awareness; positive and negative
coping strategies; and how to get help for themselves or others. The
program can also be adapted for presentation to churches, parent
teacher organizations, and other community groups.

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
Social Security is more than a retirement program. It provides you
and your family with an insurance package of disability, retirement
and survivors protection. Depending on your circumstances, you
may be eligible for Social Security at any age. Social Security pays
more benefits to children than any other government program.
Today, more than 45 million people, about one out of every six
Americans, collect some kind of Social Security benefit. Another
program run by Social Security is Supplemental Security Income
(SSI). SSI makes monthly payments to people who have low
incomes and few assets. To get SSI you must live in the U.S. or the
Northern Mariana Islands and be 65 or older; blind; or disabled. You
also must be a U.S. citizen or national. Contact your local office to
find out if you are eligible for any of these benefits.

THE MARVIN CHILDREN'S CENTER
The Marvin Children's Center is a full-day, full-year program serving
forty 3 & 4 year old children. We are funded by the State of
Connecticut's School Readiness Program. We are owned by Under
One Roof, Inc., an independent not for profit organization and
sponser of the Marvin Children's Center. We are managed by the
nation's leading provider of emplyer sponsered childcare, Bright
Horizons Family Solutions. Since we share the same building as
The Marvin's senior housing, we are also an intergenerational
program. Both the Marvin's senior residents and children in the
childcare program gain long lasting benefits from shared time
together-providing enriched experiences not found in traditional
senior housing or child care facilities. Our waitlist can be quite
lengthy and we encourage interested families to place their child on
our waitlist as early as infancy and toddlerhood.

EARTH PLACE SUMMER CAMP
At Earthplace we use our 62-acre wildlife sanctuary as an outdoor
classroom. On trail walks through the woods, meadow, stream, and
pond, we often spot wildlife in their natural surroundings, including
deer, turtles, hawks, wild turkeys and groundhogs. Every week
animals from our indoor Animal Hall come to visit. Campers learn
about many creatures and their habitats, such as turtles, snakes,
frogs, birds, mammals, insects and other wildlife. The themes
change every week. There are many opportunities to explore new
aspects of nature through hands-on activities, group games, field
trips, hikes and crafts. Once a session on Wednesdays, children in
grades 1 through 4 go on area field trips, which extends that day until
4:00 p.m. Some weeks our 3rd-4th also go canoeing, ending that day
at 4:00 PM. The 5th-7th graders alternate weeks between canoeing
and camping overnight at Earthplace. Earthplace offers a number of
programs and activities for all ages.
