Join us for virtually for Nia Gwenda: Girls with Purpose and Wonderfully Made and Empowered Queens
Starting April 2020, our girls group for youth ages 8 years old to 21 years old is NOW virtual. Our groups will cover: physical distancing & social isolation, managing anxiety, celebrating our identity, riding the waves of sadness and more. Our groups will provide youth to connect on an emotional level and support each other in a healthy, safe, and supportive manner.
Our parent and male groups are also offering virtual group programs via ZOOM platform and related mental health support for our parents and youth during this difficult time. We encourage our elders to become involved with our programs as mentors and support to our youth and parents who have never lived through these times. Our programs are facilitated by training counsellors and are offered at no-cost.
Let’s be there to support each other!
