Supporting Daughters Through Adolescence – Parent & Carer Workshop

Adolescence can be an emotionally intense and challenging time for many young people. Some girls experience feelings that are difficult to express or manage, and this can sometimes lead to unhealthy coping behaviours.

To help families feel informed, confident, and supported, a dedicated workshop is being offered for parents and carers. The session aims to provide clear guidance, reassurance, and practical ways to nurture young people’s wellbeing with compassion and understanding.

What the workshop will cover

• Understanding what self-harm is - and what it is not
• Common myths and misconceptions
• Emotional, social, and developmental factors
• Why some young people may struggle with overwhelming feelings
• Helpful approaches for supportive conversations
• When and how to seek additional help
• School and community pathways available to families

Early understanding and open, caring communication can make a meaningful difference in a young person’s life.
