At Mind Aid, we look together at how living in difficult situations can cause these feelings, and learn ways that might help us manage better in what is often a stressful world. The workshop also offers a space to share with other young people going through the same stuff, but you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to.

You’ll learn how to protect yourself from everyday challenges, how to challenge your thoughts, how to relax and feel safe (a strategy that can also help with sleeplessness!), we’ll also look into how to cope with difficult emotions

Each workshop meets once a week for six weeks, and each has young people of a similar age in attendance.

We can use closed captions and live transcriptions in our online sessions and we encourage those with hearing impairments to take part
