Winter Wellness Hangout Event Resources

Winter Wellness

Our first ever Winter Wellness Hangout event! 

We created this event with the intention of providing a safe space for current and former youth in care to celebrate holiday festivities together.

 

Youth-led and organized, with our lived experience, we understand that the holidays can sometimes be challenging for YIC and may uproot some confusing emotions. You are not alone, we hope you enjoyed this more intimate event and were able to connect with your fellow YIC, relax, have fun and gain some wellness reminders. 

Check out the links below from our speakers and presenters for further tips and tools. Thank you, stay safe and healthy ✨
