In light of Mental Health Week in B.C. from May 2 to 8, the Child & Youth Mental Health Substance Use Collaborative Local Action Team is offering free resources and yoga sessions at the Gibsons and Area Community Centre, Sechelt Aquatic Centre and Pender Harbour Aquatic and Fitness Centre. The entire Coast is invited to this event held May 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The yoga session is suitable for youth 12 and older, and for adults accompanied by youth. Yoga sessions are from noon to 1 p.m.
The focus of this event is sharing positive ways of maintaining physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health with our community’s youth. The local action team believes that yoga, healthy snacks, mental health services and de-stressors are all part of the wellness package for youth.
During the event, a parent representative or member of the Child and Youth Mental Health Collaborative will be available at a resource booth to answer questions and provide resources.
