“Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
-Brené Brown
Our Western New York Community faced significant tragedy, trauma, and hardship in 2022. The heartbreaking events of May 14th and the December 2022 Blizzard particularly left our community broken and in need of support and strength. In the months following, we as a community have found that connections with those around us are vital in offering support, healing, and more.
This need for support is why Horizon has made a strong commitment to creating and maintaining connections. Our 2022 Annual Report highlights our organization’s initiatives and actions in sustaining these goals.
Navigating a post-pandemic world where our community has faced racism, hatred, and division emphasized the need for re-connecting with those around us. Connections with other industry leaders, to diversity and inclusion, to our community, with families, with our Horizon team, and with advocacy leaders are all accentuated in our commitments. As an organization, we believe “The Power of Connection” provides strength to those in need and plays a significant role in living out our mission each day.
Check in on your loved ones and keep connection in mind as we continue to heal in 2023.
If you or a loved one is struggling to connect with others or work through life’s challenges, Horizon is here to help.
