Resources and services through onsite partners.
We’ve built a network of partners, both onsite and offsite, working together to help people in our community find the services and supports they need. The organizations below are the providers that you will find right inside our doors at CONNECT Allen County. This list is just the start of our partnerships throughout the community. See our Offsite Partner section for even more resources!
Onsite Partners:
Choices Coordinated Care Solutions, Inc.
Choices Coordinated Care Solutions is a national nonprofit organization committed to supporting youth, adults, and families facing significant behavioral and emotional challenges. In Fort Wayne, Choices focuses solely on providing intervention based services that are court ordered. With this in mind, Choices was selected to be the neutral party between our funding source and our partnering agencies acting as the hiring agent for our CONNECT staff members. This means that any referrals that come through CONNECT Allen County are navigated from the CONNECT staff directly to other on or off site partners and Choices does not service any of these referrals.
