Welcome to NAMI Southwest Washington’s Social Groups page!
We are social animals by nature, so we tend to function better when we feel like we are part of a community. People who spend a lot of time alone, may have an increased risk of depression and can experience a lower quality of life overall. You don’t have to be super social to see benefits of connecting with others.
Socializing not only staves off feelings of loneliness, but also it helps sharpen memory and cognitive skills, increases your sense of happiness and well-being, and may even help you live longer! Check out NAMI Southwest Washington’s Social Groups below!
