"Connections
is an opportunity centre.
You
can learn to run meetings, meet new
members,
go for coffee, visit
members in hospital, find a job,
find housing — Connections helps to
reconnect with your community!"
Connections is committed to
enhancing healthy communities through the engagement of people living with
serious mental illness. Countless members of Connections have provided
community leadership related to advocacy, education, employment, housing,
outreach, peer support, and community research.
Connections is founded on the realization that recovery from a serious mental
illness must involve the whole person in a vibrant and culturally sensitive
community. Connections offers respect, hope, and unlimited opportunity
that opens the door to all the richness that the community has to offer, along
with all the rights and responsibilities of active citizenship.
"I
want to learn more about myself and others,
to give something back to the
community
through supporting each other."
