Y Mind Youth

Learn to Cope with Stress & Anxiety

Are you experiencing mild-to-moderate anxiety or stress? Join the YMCA's Y Mind Youth program. It is a FREE seven-week mental wellness program for people ages 18-30 years of age. It's delivered across Canada by YMCA's and our community partners. 

Participants learn healthy coping skills, connect with other youth in the community who may have had similar experiences, and get support all in a safe and friendly environment.

If anxiety is impacting your life and preventing you from doing what you want or need to do, this group can help support you. Join us to learn mindfulness techniques, get helpful tools and resources, and meet other like-minded youth.

•     Practicing evidence-based mindfulness techniques during workshops, a proven tool to help manage anxiety
