Kingston Military Family Resource Centre
We are offering youth, age 12 to 18, from military families the opportunity to engage in and learn about mindfulness! The first hour will be focused on mindfulness/open discussion, followed by the chance to participate in fun activities with peers! Youth can then engage with their peers with both planned and unplanned activities each week! An after-school snack will also be offered as part of the drop-in.
Each week will start with the chance to engage in fun, learning activities related to your mental health and wellness!
