Y Mind Teen Groups

YMCA-YWCA is pleased to offer the Y Mind Groups for teens (13-18).  Victoria-based groups at the Downtown Y.

The YMCA-YWCA Y Mind Groups are a free, weekly psychoeducational support group for teens experiencing stress, worries and anxiety. Participants learn healthy coping skills through mindfulness and the ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) process to manage their anxiety and receive support in a safe community environment.
