Y Mind

Have you checked in with how you’re feeling lately? Are you having difficulties sleeping or concentrating because of stress or anxiety? Are certain uncomfortable thoughts and feelings preventing you from doing the things you really want to do? 

Y Mind, the YMCAs of Quebec’s new mental wellness program, can help! 

Y Mind is a free seven-week mental wellness program for young people aged 13 to 30 struggling with mild-to-moderate anxiety or stress. 

Y Mind teaches you how to use mindfulness to manage your worries and stress when they show up. By participating in person or virtually, the Y Mind program will take you on a skill-building journey to improve your focus and reduce the internal chatter that might be keeping you from doing the things you find important in life.
