Thumbs Up – Elk River
Tuesdays from 5:30 pm-7:00 pm
Location: 305 Jackson Ave. Suite B, Elk River, MN 55330
As of August 1st, the time for this group has changed to 5:30 – 7:00 pm moving forward.
This is a free weekly drop-in group for emerging adults aimed at facilitating connections between peers as well as supportive leaders.
At Adultish, we grow through the connections we make with others through art, games, laughter, and positive support. While we do not directly address mental health, we believe that social connections are a foundational part of mental well-being. We value and welcome all people; we cannot wait to meet you!
Ages 16-19
Youths under 18 must have a participant waiver on file. Email questions to kate.swanson@thumbsupformentalhealth.org

“I really like this group because I can interact with people like me. I’m homeschooled and I’m pretty anti-social but I need friends and I need people to talk to and this group really gives me a place where I CAN talk to people without being overwhelmed or scared. I love that there’s always something to do and always someone to help out and if it wasn’t there the only place I’d see other people outside of my family would be the grocery store, and trust me when I say this group is so so so much better than a grocery store.”
