YMINDS Group counselling
YMINDS Mindfulness Group is designed for students (ages 18-30) to help develop skills to effectively manage stress and other mental health concerns, with an emphasis on anxiety reduction. If you find stress and anxiety getting in the way of living your life and/or performing how you want at university, we believe this mindfulness group would be a valuable resource. The goal of this program is to provide you with skills, increased social connection and support to improve and maintain your sense of well-being.
