Free Physical Activity and Mental Wellness Program for Ages 8 to 12
At YMCA BC, we understand the important roles that physical activity and mindfulness play in coping with stress and managing mental health. That’s why we have programs like Growing Mindfully which helps support youth to be more active and learn healthy coping strategies.
Growing Mindfully is a free physical and mental wellness program for youth 8-12 years old, to help support youth to be more active and learn healthy coping strategies.
