Narrative
Making Healthy Connections (MHC), one of five PYD programs, is a youth group that empowers youth by providing them with a support network that focuses on developing skills for transition to independence and adulthood. At Making Healthy Connections youth ages 14-22 learn a variety of skills through guest speakers and workshops while forming lasting friendships with their peers. Our Boston MHC group will be meeting this year on Friday nights from 7pm-9:30pm at Oak Square YMCA in Brighton. We have already lined up some wonderful speakers for the year that will cover topics such as: eating healthy, talking to your healthcare provider, relationships and sexuality, disability pride, and many more!
