Healthy Horizons is a 12-week program designed to promote physical health and well-being and encourage community connection for those in the mental health recovery process. The program takes a holistic approach to health: participants will work on goal setting and tracking while learning about exercise, nutrition, meditation and mindfulness, and a variety of movement types.
Classes meet once per week via zoom and once per week in-person for physical workouts under the supervision of personal trainers. Each participant will graduate with supportive relationships and the education and tools necessary to continue their health and wellness journey.
About the Program:
Participants and their support system (family, friend, sponsor, etc.) both receive a complimentary 12-week YMCA membership during the program as well as a 3-month adult membership for program participants after successful completion of the 12-week program.
Qualifications of participation:
Healthy Horizons welcomes YMCA members and nonmembers who have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder and are in the recovery process.
