The Y Mind program is an innovative, youth informed, early intervention program that helps teens and young adults manage stress and anxiety. Y Mind helps young people cope with anxiety and improve their sense of well-being by introducing them to evidence-based tools and connecting them with others. 

Y Mind was first developed by the YMCA of Greater Vancouver and has been offered in British Columbia since 2018 with thanks to funding provided by the Province of British Columbia. With the financial support of the Public Health Agency of Canada, Y Mind has now expanded to 21 YMCAs across the country, including the YMCAs of Québec.

Y Mind Teen

Y Mind Teen is a free seven-week mental wellness program for teens ages 13 to 18  who are experiencing symptoms of mild-to-moderate anxiety or stress. Participants learn and practice evidence-based strategies to help manage anxiety.

Y Mind Teen is led by trained mental health professionals and gives teens the chance to connect with peers who are experiencing similar thoughts and feelings.

Y Mind Youth

Y Mind Youth is a free seven-week mental wellness program for young people who are aged 18 to 30 and struggling with mild-to-moderate anxiety or stress. Anxiety can impact our lives by preventing us from doing what we want or need to do. It can also be an isolating experience. 

This free program brings young people who have similar thoughts and feelings together. Participants learn evidence-based skills from trained mental health professionals and report feeling reduced anxiety, increased well-being and feeling less alone following the program.
