Vibing & Thriving Teen Week

The Canadian Mental Health Association identifies mental health challenges often emerge during adolescence. Teens are expected to understand who they are and how they relate to others, while facing social pressures, physical and emotional changes, and balancing work and/or school stress.

This group was created from the rise in youth seeking mental health support while navigating the above difficulties. We also recognize shared experience as a powerful tool for validating feelings, normalizing experiences, learning from others, and challenging stigma.

Daily Themes:

- Day 1: self-esteem and identity

- Day 2: Emotions and coping skills

- Day 3: mental health and self- care

- Day 4: communication, friendships, and relationships

- Day 5: Life skills and bringing it together

What to Expect:

- Education surrounding the above topics

- A supportive group environment for connection and reflection

- Tools and resources for teens to bring home

- Activities varying from movement to meditation, and creative arts

- snacks and hydration provided

What you’ll need:

- Dress in casual and comfortable attire

- Bring your own lunch or have the option to purchase from the mall

- Bring outdoor items, such as sunscreen and sunglasses.
