What to expect

Youth are invited to continue with an online monthly drop-in group for ongoing support. The monthly drop-in sessions are one hour long and give youth the opportunity to stay connected with their peers.

Teens in Control Drop-Ins run similarly to BCSS Family Support Groups. The Kids in Control Drop-Ins are a monthly continuation for program graduates of the eight-week KIC program. 

Program goals

  • Continuous support for kids and teens
  • Connections with peers going through similar struggles
  • A support network and safe space
