Skills and knowledge are the superpowers that help us tackle any of life's challenges. The Crisis Centre of BC is helping to ensure all youth have access to the mental health knowledge and tools necessary for them to be well and stay well. Introducing MindFlip: Brain Science Tools for Everyday Living MindFlip: Brain Science Tools for Everyday Living is a new and free online program for youth that provides practical knowledge and tools to support mental health. The program is based on brain science and research in mental health and resilience, along with input from youth who have used the tools. This self-paced, online program is youth-friendly and contains four core modules. Geared towards youth in late elementary and secondary school, topics include brain science and skills for mental fitness, emotional regulation and awareness of our thoughts and emotions, self-awareness and self-compassion, and mindful tools to deal with stress and life challenges. Lu Ripley, Director of the Centre’s Community Learning and Engagement team, says that the program “shares practical tools and information with young people in a way that is digestible, easy to access, and relatable.” Available free of charge, each of the four modules can be taken in full or bite-size portions, facilitated by an adult, or taken independently, and the content can be reviewed at the learners' convenience. Sessions utilize videos, interactive content, and guided practices. School staff, parents, or youth who are interested in taking the MindFlip program, can request it by filling out this form. *Please note that the user's email address will be collected during registration.

Learning to Lead™ focuses on: · Being Authentic: embrace and accept your unique self · Self-Knowledge: identify your values and how to leverage your strengths · Increasing Confidence: practice sharing your ideas and taking risks · Being a Leader: learn what it means to be a leader and inspire others · Creating Connections: build relationships with peers and mentors 2023 Program Dates: GROUP 1: TUESDAYS, 3:30-5:30PM (APRIL 4, 11, 18, 25) GROUP 2: WEDNESDAYS, 6-8PM (APRIL 5, 12, 19, 26) Students are welcome to apply to any of the program groups.

All program costs are covered by donors and sponsors who believe in the leadership potential of youth. Please note that there is no maximum to how many students a school can put forward for this opportunity. Indigenous students are strongly encouraged to apply. Bryn and guest co-host Cindy Andrew come together with Dave Mackenzie, School Counsellor and Art Steinmann, Youth Substance Use Health Promotion Specialist to talk about the ABCs of substance use education and schools.

Learn more A lot of people, have a feeling that drug education and substance use prevention is about drugs and drug facts, and really that’s a small part of it. What we want to try to do is get more at those root preventative issues. And so there’s what we call protective factors, things that if we enhance them and build them up, they’re gonna put people at a lower likelihood of developing drug use problems. Some of the strongest protective factors can be summed up in the ABCs (of substance use education), Autonomy, Belonging and Competence. So youth that have a foundation in those three areas are going to be way ahead of the game in terms of avoiding mental health and substance use issues. — Art Steinmann, podcast guest "Promoting Student Well-being: the ABCs of Substance Use Education" Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre BC Children’s Hospital Healthy Minds Centre, Entrance 85 Room P3-302, 3rd floor, 4500 Oak Street Vancouver, BC V6H 3N1 Ph: 604-875-2084 TF: 1-800-665-1822 keltymentalhealth.ca [email protected] Share our newsletter with your family and friends so they get the latest on resources, news and events.
