What we’re about

Welcome to The Connections Collective that is put on by NAMI SMC (The National Alliance on Mental Illness, San Mateo County). The Connections Collective is a supportive and inclusive space specially crafted for individuals navigating the unique challenges of their twenties. We understand that reaching out, making connections, and forming friendships can be daunting, especially when faced with the complexities of mental health conditions.

In this welcoming community, we recognize the struggles that some may face, whether it's battling anxiety, depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life. The Connections Collective aims to be a lifeline for those who find it challenging to put themselves out there, offering a safe space for individuals seeking genuine connections and understanding peers.

The Connections Collective has monthly meet ups where we do fun activities together such as bowling, escape rooms, game nights, mini golf, cooking classes, and many more. The group is made to connect with other people in their 20s, have fun and provide a supportive environment for people to feel comfortable talking about what they're going through. We aim to foster a sense of belonging, support and connection.

We hope you join us in building this community together!
