Coyote Tracks Program (ages 12-15)

The Coyote Tracks program was developed in response to the ongoing need for more safe and supportive group counselling experiences for male-identifying youth in early adolescence. In this small group environment of 6-8 youth, boys have the chance to reduce social isolation and mental health struggles such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression build their confidence, learn new coping skills, and connect with their love for nature. The skilled mental health practitioners focus on facilitating inclusive experiences, while teaching coping skills and fostering growth in each participant.

Each program day will take place in a different park location, such as Beaver Lake, PKOLS, Thetis Lake, Francis King, and Goldstream. Participants will be outdoors for 4 hours each day, exploring in the elements and connecting to these natural areas.   

The program is suitable for male-identified youth ages 12-15 who experience:

• Social Isolation
• Difficulty with social skills
• ADD/ADHD,
• Learning disabilities
• Generalized anxiety
• Depression

Our Facilitators: TBC
