Through fusion of recreational activities,”STEPS” encourages youth to interact in a nurturing and non-judgemental environment while promoting healthy living habits. Activities like hiking, yoga and laser tag build self confidence and strengthen both social and personal fitness goals. The program touches on all aspects of wellness aiming to equip participants with understanding, skills and strategies for living and maintaining a mentally healthy lifestyle.

Currently the STEPS Program runs September to June. STEPS youth meet weekly. Communication between program coordinator and participants is encouraged on an open group chat webpage keeping youth connected and supported throughout the week. One-on-one meet-ups are also offered through the coordinator as needed. Activities and locations vary, bringing new STEPS adventures weekly.
