Hi Everyone,
We still have some spaces left for our upcoming info session for the Youth Y Mind (18-30). Please pass on the message send the following link to anyone that might benefit from the program. They get more information and register through the link. We are taking registrations for teens (13-18) for an upcoming October start fall group. They can register through the same link.

The YMCA-YWCA Y Mind Group (18-30) is a free, weekly psychoeducational support group for young adults 18-30 experiencing stress, worries and anxiety. Participants learn healthy coping skills through mindfulness and the ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) process to manage their anxiety, connect with other young people and receive support all in a safe and supportive community environment. The program is designed to provide tools and support to folks who experience mild to moderate anxiety and is funded by the Ministry of Health as an early intervention program.
Programming is supervised by two trained facilitators (one or both are clinical counsellors) and is available to young adults and teens who experience mild-to-moderate anxiety. No referral is necessary for participation, however interested participants must register in advance for an online information session which is followed up with an in person intake meeting with one of the group facilitators.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!!
