MENTAL WELLNESS
For families & individuals of all ages At the YMCA-YWCA, we understand the important role that stress and mental wellness play in the lives of our community members. That’s why we have a variety of mental wellness groups that support individuals of all ages and families to learn healthy coping skills, connect with others in the community, and get support all in a safe and friendly environment.
“Participating in Mindfulness Group has been a life changing experience for me. Compared to the first time I went to the info session (which I was actually quite skeptical about the program), I've changed so much since now I know how to manage my anxiety and apply mindfulness exercises whenever I need them. The instructors were amazing, and they answered the group's questions with very helpful answers. The group environment was very comfortable and welcoming as well. I would definitely want to recommend this program to anyone even if they are not going through anxiety, and I hope to further develop my skills and learnings in mindfulness. Thank you so much for such an amazing program!”
