In this group, youth will learn concrete skills related to managing stress and anxiety; developing healthy relationships; and supporting their physical wellness through healthy eating and living habits.

Girls Night In (Wednesays, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.)
Girls Night In is a 13-week program that aims to empower young women to become community and world changers. Participants will be encouraged to make new friends, have fun, attend cool events and build self-confidence in a positive, accepting and open-minded environment that fosters conversations that all girls can relate to. Through one-on-one mentorship, interactive and fun workshops and other opportunities, this group empowers young women to reach their full potential while developing skills for their future.
Posi-Talks (by appointment)
Sometimes we all need someone to speak to about the ups and downs of life. Posi-Talks is a 30 to 45 minute mentoring session with one of our Youth Engagement Workers at Nexus. Whether you need help finding a job, figuring out the next steps for your life, or just talking through everyday stress and concerns, we’re here to be a source of support, without judgement. To set up an appointment, please speak to a member of the Nexus Youth Centre team or call 905-566-1883.
* Bus tickets are made available upon request, while quantities last.
