Misson Statement

To promote self-sufficiency and pro-social life choices through effective client education, training and treatment programs. 

The Cognitive Connection began in 1995 when Clay, Wilson & Associates set out to help improve the lives of adolescents and adults living in the Unifour area. Since then we have been awarded contracts to develop and provide cognitive behavioral intervention programs, employment training programs, substance abuse treatment programs, education programs, and case management programs throughout North Carolina. We have stayed within our budget, completed all projects on time, and met all performance standards required for all contracts during the years we have been in business. Our goal is to empower clients to become as independent and self-reliant as possible by teaching them the skills they need to succeed in life.
