If mild to moderate anxiety is impacting your life and preventing you from doing what you want or need to do, this group is for you.
What is Y Mind?
Y Mind is a free seven-week mental wellness program for people ages 13-29 who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety. This program offers the opportunity to learn and practice evidence-based strategies to better manage your anxiety and improve your coping skills. It uses an action-focused approach based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Led by trained mental health professionals, Y Mind gives teens and young adults the chance to connect with others who are having similar experiences. As a participant in the program, you will also have access to the YMCA-YWCA health and fitness facilities throughout the program.
