TRAILS Anxiety and Depression: TRAILS groups are designed to help children and youth who struggle with moderate symptoms of stress, anxiety, and/or depression by teaching evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness skills. TRAILS aims to help children and youth develop effective coping skills and strategies to help manage their emotions and choose helpful behaviours. This is a 8-10-week program that may be offered virtually and/or in person. Children and youth who might benefit from the group are primarily having difficulty with both anxiety and depressive symptoms/low mood that is impairing their functioning. Children and youth interested in participating should have some awareness of their struggles and would be motivated to improve their coping skills.
