CONNECTME

Helping people connect to resources and support more quickly

What is ConnectMe?


ConnectMe is Think of Us' resource navigation platform that helps young people and kinship caregivers connect to the services, supports, and information they need, when they need them. It combines AI-powered intake and resource matching with trained Care Navigators (CNs) who provide personalized, one-on-one support throughout the process.

This platform is not a referral directory. Instead of simply providing a list of resources, CNs work alongside each person to navigate services, overcome barriers, and stay engaged until their needs are met. AI helps make support faster and more efficient, while people provide the guidance and connection that lead to real outcomes.

ConnectMe is not just a technology tool, it is a practice model. The platform handles intake, urgency coding, and resource matching at speed, while Care Navigators bring empathy, cultural awareness, and follow-through. Technology creates capacity. People create connection.

The Impact - TBD

In 2026, Think of Us:

When young people and caregivers reach out for support, they are often navigating urgent needs and complicated systems at the same time — and they should not be left to navigate those challenges alone. Virtual Support Services helps reduce that burden by pairing them with Community Responders who do the heavy lifting alongside them, helping turn needs into real connections to support.

Our work at Think of Us is about meeting youth and caregivers where they are and helping them navigate systems that often feel overwhelming and inaccessible. By centering lived experience, providing real-time support, and connecting families to critical resources, we help build stability, ensure they feel seen, and create dignity and long-term impact in the community.
