NAMI Middlesex Young Adult Social Club (YASC)
YASC is on a mission to make friends. We are a recreational group in Middlesex County for anyone over 18 with an emotional or behavioral challenge. Every time we get together, we find a bite to eat and something to do like a walk in the park, bowling, or just hanging out at the mall. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Sundays most months, depending on holidays and inclement weather!
