Parent Support Sessions
Raising teens has never been harder. Help reduce the effects of sudden outbursts, risky behaviour and mental health concerns by giving yourself a healthy space to talk things through and receive feedback or strategies. We help bring you closer to your teens and promote time for self-care.

"Is it weird to get support, as a parent?"
​
Not unless you think it's better to struggle by yourself. Raising a teenager is a difficult task that requires patience, empathy and understanding. Today's extra parental stressors (such as social media, cyberbullying, peer pressure and post-pandemic anxieties) have created a "hot-pot" of pressure, stress and sensitivities many of us simply don't know how to deal with. Our advantage is that we work with dozens of families facing similar issues, allowing us to share what's working for other parents and teens too.

"What difference will this make?"
​
Parents who use our Support Sessions often report feeling calmer and better in control. In addition to discussing your child's specific needs and situation we equip them with new communication skills and parenting techniques that are working for today's teens. With our confidential, non-judgemental space, we support parents to feel more confident in their parenting abilities by expressing themselves, being heard, and validated. The guidance and insight we provide is tailored to parents and teens, with a focus on developing lasting relationships.
