Youth Wellness and Education<\/h1>\n

Low-mood, stress and anxiety don\u2019t wait for you to be ready. Acknowledging your mental health early can make a difference. The Canadian Mental Health Association estimates that that total number of 12 to 19 year olds at risk of depression is a staggering 3.2 million. This means that close to 30% of Canadian youth could be affected. Helping youth help themselves with youth wellness and education is becoming increasingly important.<\/em><\/p>\n

CMHA serves youth and young adults offering prevention-based education sessions for youth and youth leaders in school and club settings to address youth substance use, mental health promotion and suicide prevention, equipping youth with knowledge and tools to help manage mental health and wellness through building relationships and providing a knowledge-base of community resources to access help.<\/em><\/p>\n

Y-Mind (Teen Mindfulness)<\/h2>\n

Do you worry a lot about school? Do you worry about making friends or stress about what others think of you? You\u2019re not alone \u2013 everyone experiences worry, anxiety, and stress.<\/p>\n

Everybody experiences stress, anxiety and uncomfortable emotions \u2013 it\u2019s normal. How we cope with these feelings and emotions can make the difference in how we interact with those around us, activities and opportunities or moving forward in a way that allows us to live our best life.<\/p>\n

CMHA Vernon & District, in partnership with the YMCA, is facilitating a Y-Mind Teen Mindfulness group series. The group supports youth ages 13 to 18 experiencing anxiety symptoms and allows youth to learn and practice healthy coping strategies to manage their symptoms better. The group provides an opportunity to connect with other youth who are going through similar experiences.<\/p>\n

The course is facilitated in a safe, fun and supportive group environment that will enable you to understand what anxiety is and why our body and mind respond the way they do. They will help youth learn and practice healthy coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety better.<\/p>\n
