The Tonal Connectedness Initiative

The Tonal Connectedness Initiative is designed to promote a culturally plural model for increasing personal and collective resilience. Currently it is focused on increasing the resilience of at-risk youth by strengthening their positive connectedness to others. The Initiative trains professionals and lay caregivers working with vulnerable youth in multiple social service sector settings to recognize, map, and cultivate connectedness for these children and their families using a methodology that increases youth engagement in their own connectedness visualization process.
