About TAY Workshops
Transitional age youth workshops are focused on mental health literacy and our Youth Facilitators are trained to identify and connect at-risk youth to appropriate mental health supports. During our workshops participants will explore:
- The importance of having a balanced mental health
- How to manage stress
- New coping mechanisms
- How and where to seek help or to help a loved one in case of need.
French Immersion Classrooms: We recognize the challenges that linguistic minorities face when trying to access mental health care services in French. Thus, we are prioritizing our French workshops for francophone schools. If you would like to book a French immersion class, please choose the English option.
Please contact info@ynra.ca and (613) 697-7985 if you need help booking our workshops.
Safety Disclaimer
Safety: Our facilitators are supported by a clinical social worker and follow a clinical protocol when a youth discloses mental health concerns. We respect the policies in schools and will always work in collaboration to support students in need. However, our facilitators do not offer medical advice or offer clinical services.
