My Experience at Community Connections by Nicole Cummings
I have been at CCI for 11 years; I started out at the Day Hab where they would take me out to do lots of fun things like going to lunch, bowling, and finally the park. I met lots of nice staff some of them dont work at Community Connections anymore but I like the fact that I am able to stay in contact with the other staff members.
