The Middle Years 

Where prevention continues

Objective: to serve the youth on Gabriola Island by supporting them in staying resilient in their lives.

We work with the developmental processes of this age group. We establish activities that focus on problem solving skills. We examine how much that is related to getting along with others and negotiating relationships. Through play, creative pursuits, physical activities, and a youth generated curriculum, we engage this age group in prevention programs that support skill development. Our programming is designed to insert as many developmental assets as possible into the environment of these youth's lives, while the content challenges them in developing the necessary internal attitudes to support them in order to thrive in their lives. With problem solving and social skill development as the core skill sets, we offer fun and engaging programs that build supportive trusting relationships with attending youth.
