COMMUNITY AND BELONGING
At the Westport Weston Family YMCA, we recognize the importance of mental health in our community. We believe that everyone deserves access to the resources and support they need to thrive, regardless of where they are on their mental health journey. Whether you’re looking to exercise, build community, or access mental health services, the Y is here to support you on your well-being journey.
THE Y’S ROLE
For over 100 years, we’ve been dedicated to supporting mental and behavioral health within our community. We understand that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why we offer a range of specialized programs and therapeutic supports tailored to meet the unique needs of our community.
PHYSICAL FITNESS
Our mental health and physical health are deeply interconnected. Through regular exercise in our state-of-the-art fitness centers, swimming pools, or group exercise classes, members can improve their mental health by reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing brain function, and boosting self-esteem.

Positive Youth Development Childhood experiences profoundly shape our mental well-being. That’s why many of our youth programs focus on Positive Youth Development, providing supportive relationships and meaningful experiences in safe, nurturing environments to promote healthy social-emotional learning and mental well-being among children and youth.
YMCA Family Services Since 1975, our YMCA Family Services branch has provided prevention and treatment services to individuals and families in need of support. During this crisis, we continue to provide behavioral health services through telehealth counseling sessions for children and adults in need of support, conducted by our licensed, professional staff.
You Are Not Alone Throughout life, many of us will face mental health challenges, and it’s important to know that you are not alone. With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, maintaining a healthy mindset is crucial, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Join us at the Westport Weston Family YMCA as we raise awareness, provide support, and advocate for mental health for all members of our community. Together, we can create a healthier, more resilient future.
