What Parents & Carers say about this session
“This webinar is a wonderful resource for all parents and caregivers. It covers the important topics in order for us to recognise when our teen is struggling and presents different ways in which we can support and nurture them. I have recommended this to friends and have already accessed some of the resources they provided. Thank you.”
“A very informative, practical presentation helpful for parents and carers. It helps reinforce and also add new ideas using current research and resources!”
“Highly informative and genuinely insightful. As a parent and carer to three boys, with the oldest now a teen, I went in feeling unsure and underequipped, and left an hour and a half later feeling at ease and armed with a wealth of encouraging, practical advice.
