Drop-in Programs
BCSS Youth has drop-in virtual support groups for kids and teens.
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
