Practical sessions that help parents understand common wellbeing concerns and support their children with confidence.

These 60-minute sessions offer calm, accessible explanations of key wellbeing topics so parents can recognise early signs, respond steadily and strengthen communication at home.

Introduction

Parents often observe changes at home but may feel unsure what these changes mean or how to respond without increasing pressure. Young people may hide their worries, express them through behaviour or struggle to explain how they feel.

Parent Awareness Sessions provide clear, balanced guidance that helps families understand early signs, use supportive language and establish routines that promote emotional safety. Each topic is grounded in practical strategies that support children and teenagers in managing stress, confidence and connection.
