Connections Volunteers links people living with a mental illness with volunteers who provide companionship and support.

Connections Volunteers is a highly successful friendship program which strengthens the capacity of people living with mental illness to function within the community and strengthens the skills and capacities of volunteers to effectively relate to and support people with chronic mental health conditions.

If more people had the skills and dedication Connections Volunteers possess, people living with a mental illness would have much less to fear and much more to celebrate.

All Connections' volunteers receive free training which gives them skills to create stronger and more successful relationships with people living with a mental illness.

Connections is a project of Volunteering ACT.
