Get Set & Connect

Get Set & Connect is a program designed to help adults living with mental illness make connections and form meaningful relationships with others through activities in their community. The program offers a variety of programming including one to one coaching, connecting through small group activities and monthly networking sessions.

The monthly networking sessions allow for participants to connect and meet one another, as well as learning about all the different activities available in the program. The meetings take place twice a month, one in the evening and one in the afternoon to allow everyone the opportunity to attend. Each of the meetings include:

• A chance for introductions and describing leisure activities that you enjoy
• An explanation of what to expect at the meetings
• An activity to help people better understand what they enjoy in the way of activities and how they can pursue them
• Advertising of activity groups that Gets Set & Connect offer
• Success stories about Get Set & Connect activities and the networking meetings
• A list of free events for the coming week in Vancouver
• A chance for feedback

The next Get Set & Connect meeting is next Tuesday March 13th at 7 p.m. The meeting will be taking place at Rhizome Cafe located at 317 East Broadway - a short stroll from CMHA Vancouver-Burnaby.
