About Connected Journeys
Our Founder
Connected Journeys" was founded and created by Rona Amora, MS LPC, a licensed professional counselor, certified teacher, and certified school counselor with over a decade of experience in education and therapy. Her journey from the classroom to counseling services has been driven by a passion for combining analytical thinking with empathetic understanding. With a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a diverse background including work in school districts, private practice, and with foster and adoptive families, Rona has cultivated a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding children's social and emotional development. This rich tapestry of experiences has not only shaped the foundation of "Connected Journeys" but also continues to inspire our ongoing mission to transform the landscape of social emotional learning.
Our Approach
Our approach to social emotional learning (SEL) is deeply influenced by extensive experiences across diverse educational settings, private practice, and, notably, impactful work with foster and adoptive families. These experiences have underscored the critical role of family engagement and the power of collaborative efforts between schools and families in supporting children's emotional growth. At "Connected Journeys," we integrate these insights into a comprehensive SEL curriculum designed to engage children, educators, and families alike. We prioritize practical, experiential learning opportunities that encourage meaningful connections, fostering a supportive network that extends beyond the classroom.
Our Mission
At "Connected Journeys," our mission is to empower young children and their families with the tools and understanding necessary to navigate the complexities of emotions and social interactions. We aim to foster an environment where social emotional learning (SEL) is not just an educational goal but a foundational aspect of daily life. Through our dedication to this mission, we strive to support the development of emotionally intelligent, compassionate, and resilient individuals who are prepared to contribute positively to their communities and the world at large.
