Youth Programs
Brave Circles
BRAVE is a holistic approach to self-awareness and supports mental health and well-being.
Brave Circles are a weekly program for female-identifying persons ages 12-18 in the Langley Community or surrounding areas. Join us to feel empowered, discover your self-worth and gain confidence to be the best version of YOU that you can be!
Our program meets monthly for social connection through the fall/winter, with a large community event in February and a mentor program from April – June. We also offer a BRAVE Camp/Retreat weekend in the summer.

The Landing
A safe place for teens to process life and find healing, restoration and freedom from their hurts, habits and hang-ups. A Celebrate Recovery program. Contact sarah.macdonald@salvationarmy.ca for more information.
Peace
The PEACE program is for children and youth ages 3-18 who have experienced violence in their homes. PEACE stands for Prevention, Education, Advocacy, Counselling and Empowerment and is a curriculum supported by the BC Society of Transition Houses.
It is a psycho-educational supportive counselling program that helps children and youth feel safe, respected, valued and heard. The group setting also reduces their isolation, and they come to know others who have experienced these challenges as well. This program has both a fall and spring intake. Dinner is provided for the family, and the non-offending caregiver is welcome to stay and be part of an informal peer support group with guest speakers and helpful connections to other local services.
Pre-registration is required, and referrals are recommended. Contact norma.armellini@salvationarmy.ca for upcoming program dates and more information.
The next PEACE program is planned for Spring 2026.
