Greater Victoria’s Mental Health Community

Connections Place is a Greater Victoria, BC-based community that helps people with mental illness achieve self-reliance, and use their skills and talents to get their lives back on track. It’s estimated that there’s more than 80,000 people living with a mental illness in the Greater Victoria Area.

We offer employment, education, and recreation initiatives to help people diagnosed with any mental illness including: psychosis, PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, OCD, and schizophrenia. Membership is free and for life for anyone over 18 years of age, and members can visit as often as desired to get their lives back and move forward.
