Unsinkable Youth

Unsinkable Youth (aged 16-26) meet both in-person and in a virtual space to share their lived experience by providing peer-to-peer connection and gain inspiration to empower and promote wellness.

Be Unsinkable! Just Be You is a youth-led and youth-focused peer group. Through this program, youth discover coping skills, build resilience, make connections, in a safe space, without judgement and without stigma.

UY Wellness Group is an empowering, 12 week program where resilient young individuals come together in a live, virtual space. This unique platform offers them the chance to connect, share their personal experiences, and build inspiration in their journey towards mental well-being. Every week, participants actively engage in interactive discussions surrounding various important topics.

Unsinkable Youth groups are facilitated by youth peers, and supervised by an Unsinkable Program Manager with support from Clinical Advisors.
