Advocacy, support, and guidance for all.
Interwoven Connections provides education, advocacy, and community to the tapestry of families connected by adoption, kinship and customary care relationships, as well as those at risk of breakdown because of complex needs; and the professionals who support them. We seek innovative ways to ensure family preservation, where every member of the family has what they need to grow and belong.
Our name, Interwoven Connections, encapsulates who we are and who we will grow to be. We are a community woven and stitched together through our shared experiences.
Interwoven Connections represents the tapestry of families and relationships formed through adoption, kinship and customary care. We create spaces and experiences where parents and caregivers feel seen and heard. Where they have access to trauma sensitive services and supports at every stage of their journey.
In all that we do, we aim to foster and support meaningful and authentic relationships because we believe they are the basis of strong families.
