About this Event
DATES HAVE CHANGED FOR THIS EVENT TO OCTOBER 6 AT 6 PM. We are looking for participants for our upcoming FREE Fall psych ed groups for people who are interested in building self-awareness. We are offering the Youth (18-30) program at the Cook Street Village Activity Centre, 380 Cook Street.
Do you want to learn more about managing stress (school, social, future), anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, self-doubt, social pressure, perfectionism, comparison culture (social media), finding purpose, navigating difficult emotions? A new parent? Getting a divorce? Caregiver? Social worker or teacher? Starting a new job? New to the area? Out of work? Athlete or performance artist? Alive?! Life is challenging. We get it. Maybe things are going ok, but could be better. This program is designed to help navigate life with strength using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We will guide you through building awareness and skills to be flexible with your thoughts, introduce self-compassion when feeling uncomfortable emotions, and begin to define living by what's important to you now. You will learn how to be true to yourself.
Our free mental wellness programs help participants learn how to manage stress and mild-to-moderate anxiety (individuals experiencing severe anxiety and stress that significantly impacts their ability to perform daily activities, likely require more support than what Y Mind is intended to provide).
Participants are supported by two trained mental health professionals, peer group support, a free workbook and gym membership while in the program. There are 7 sessions, Tuesday evenings from 6 pm - 8:30 pm, from October 27-December 8, 2026. For more information email [email protected] or call 778-584-7360.
You don't have to wait until it gets unbearable.
