SUMMARY:Mental Wellness - Y Mind Teen (13-18) & Youth (18-30)

Please contact us at mindfulness@vancouverislandy.ca so we can support you in accessing a group (either in person or virtual) in your area. \nThe registration process for Y Mind Teen includes attendance at an Information Session (either online or in person\, depending on the site) and a brief intake meeting with one of our facilitators to determine if the group is a best fit for the teen. \nREGISTER ONLINE \nY MIND YOUTH – AGES 18 – 30\nThe Y Mind Youth programs are delivered in person\, in Victoria. Online groups are available with enough interest or through our partner sites on Vancouver Island as well as other Y’s across BC. \nIf stress is impacting your life and preventing you from doing what you want or need to do\, this group is for you.
