Cowichan Valley Youth Services provides free mental health support services to youth (13-18) and parents and caregivers of youth through specialized groups and one-to-one support sessions offered both in office and through mobile outreach anywhere in the Cowichan region. We also offer a life- and employment-skills program for youth 15-30.
Y Mind is a FREE seven-week group program for young people experiencing mild-moderate anxiety, stress and worry. Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness, Y Mind supports teens 13-18 years old and youth 18-30 years old. Y Mind groups are delivered by trained mental wellness staff at YMCAs and select youth serving organizations across BC. You do not need a diagnosis of anxiety, and you do not need to be a YMCA member.
