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!

Trivia Night & 20s Social with The Connections Collective
Blue Oak Brewing Company, 815 Cherry Lane,, San Carlos, CA, USJoin The Connections Collective for Trivia Night! Enjoy an evening of fun, connections, and meeting new friends in their 20s. 🎉
This event is designed to support the unique experiences of those in their twenties, especially those navigating mental health conditions. We know reaching out and making new friends can be challenging, so we’ve created an event that makes it easy to relax, connect, and enjoy some baseball together.
The event will take place at Blue Oak Brewing in San Carlos that is known for its fun trivia nights from 7-9pm. No trivia skills are needed; this is all about having fun. I'll be there starting at 6pm to secure seats and hang out before trivia begins. I recommend arriving around 6pm to help reserve spots and socialize. There will also be a food truck available for those who want to grab a bite. To learn more about Blue Oak Brewing, you can check out their website here: https://www.blueoakbrewing.com.
