Peace of Mind: Workshops for Secondary Students
Through Peace of Mind workshops, our facilitators and trained volunteers help secondary students to build awareness of social, emotional and mental health issues.
The workshops then aim to develop skills that promote resilience in response to common challenges high school students may encounter.
Funded by the City of Richmond, Community Gaming Grants, and BC Society of Transition Houses.
