There is only one life to live, but the reality is that life is full of challenges! Group sessions are held once per week via Zoom to provide tools and skills to help youth cope with life’s daily stressors.
The YOLO Group is a class for teens age 14-16 to learn ways to cope with all of the stressful events and life experiences of the current times and of teenage years. There is opportunity for sharing as participants feel comfortable and support from peers that are going through similar things. It is not a therapy group but is conducted by a clinical social worker and co-facilitator. Groups are capped at 10 participants.
If you are a teen wanting to learn more and engage in an hour of fun once per week or you know someone who you think could benefit from this group please use the links below to register. For more information about the group, please contact [email protected] or call (209) 547-8656.

St. Joseph’s Medical Center provides Mental Health First Aid courses to the community and does not charge for the instruction. There is a nominal cost per person for materials that are provided by the National Council for Behavioral Health.

This training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to the appropriate care.
There are two class options available.
The minimum size for this class is 5 participants up to 10 participants and are conducted either via Zoom or a blended version which contains online self-paced learning followed by an in-person 5 hour course.
