The GenYW program provides psychoeducational groups and mental health services for youth in their school setting as well as in their communities and at our offices. For summer we will be offering abbreviated versions of our program at no-cost to participants. Additionally, participants and their families may be eligible to have access to no-cost mental health services if they want to pursue services.

Paperwork must be completed by parents/guardians prior to the start of groups. Participants will be asked to complete brief surveys throughout the program to help YWCA Greater Austin understand the impact of this group. Additional details will be sent to the email address used for registration within Eventbrite.
