Jumpstep for Teens - Program at YMCA of Vancouver

I'm passing along an interesting opportunity for any families and students looking to add some physical support for feelings of depression or anxiety. I've included the details of the program directly from the email I got. I've heard through our school nurse that this has been a great program for many kids. Let me know if you'd like more info, or sign up with anyone it's appropriate for.

Starting March, 2017...

This is a physical activity and mental wellness program for teens 13-18 who experience depression and/or anxiety. For more information, please visit our website, by clicking here.
