The Survey — City Wide Youth Council Thank you for your interest in our survey - ‘YOUth Have a Voice: Covid-19 and Mental Health’. The Survey is open for youth 13-18 years until June 5th, 2021.

Hello!
As we approach the end of the school year, the Crisis Centre would like to invite you to book our Self-Care for Mental Health online workshop for youth - a live, interactive session for students in grades 6 to 12, offered at no cost, and is now shared virtually!
This online workshop explores how we all have mental health, and invites youth to brainstorm strategies to take care of their emotional, physical and social needs. Through experiential activities, videos, games and discussions, youth create their own personalized “self-care plan” that includes identifying their support network and resources to use in times of crisis or need.
Topics include:
What is mental health
What self-care is and what it is not
Setting boundaries and limits for well-being (exploring social media and screen time)
The importance of reaching out for support
Sessions include information about youth mental health supports and resources available in the community.
Mindful Tools for Everyday Living (4 or 8 Sessions)
Mindful Tools for Everyday Living is an online youth program suitable for grades 5 to 12. This trauma-informed program teaches youth how to support managing emotions, fostering healthy relationships and coping with stresses of these times.
Book the Self-Care workshop and the Mindful Tools program here for May and June, or spread the word! [crisiscentre.wufoo.com]
