Pause for Paws

Pause for Paws is a free event open to everyone. Youth, students and parents are invited to take a pause from their life’s stressors with a day of self-care, learning and relaxation. Guests are encouraged to attend the entire event and those who attend the opening speech and Jack.ORG lecture will get priority access to dog therapy. We hope that all participants will leave with a new perspective towards mental health, taking care of yourself, and helping others.
This event will include:

• Dog Therapy by Vancouver EcoVillage (1p.m. to 3p.m.)
• Youth Art Exhibition (11a.m. to 4p.m.)
• Opening Speech & Open Lecture lead by a Jack.ORG Youth Speaker (12p.m. to 1p.m.)
• 20 minute Yoga Classes (1p.m. and 1:20p.m.)
• Refreshments

This event has been organized by the Youth Mental Health Symposium Committee and is made possible by Canada Service Corps, TakingITGlobal and Vancouver’s EcoVillage.
