Guest Speaker
Today was our guest speaker was Jane Browning who spoke on the topic "Strengthening communities through physical activity".
The YMCA, in partnership with organizations across BC, has developed Mind Fit a physical and mental wellness program for teens aged 13-19 experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of depression and/ or anxiety in BC. The program is designed to support teens in learning how to incorporate physical activity into their mental wellness plan.
During the program, a group of 10-12 teens meets at the YMCA for 8-weeks to discuss healthy coping strategies and to try new physical activities.
