Are you over the age of 29? No worries - join the Continuum!
NAMI Connecticut Continuum Connection is a peer-led support group model for individuals ages 30+ seeking a non-traditional style group. These groups focus on managing mental wellness through thought-provoking activities, recovery skill building, goal planning, socialization, and supportive discussion.
Also consider joining our Out of the Abyss - Suicide Support and Recovery Network!
These non-clinical groups focus on navigating the darkness of suicide with meaningful connection & support, robust dialogue, and activities/strategies to manage urges. This group is intended to provide a non-judgmental space to openly share about pain and experiences, create opportunities to build community, find hope, and heal.
Check out our Young Adult Out of the Abyss group as well! This model is an adventure program for young adults to navigate the darkness in the current environment - and beyond. This non-judgmental group is both a time to strategize and share ideas for coping with difficult life circumstances AND an adventure module for the 5th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
