About Us
We want to provide you with the support so you can build the best possible relationship with your teen.
We are passionate about what we do, and we are committed to helping parents build the best possible relationships with their teens.
Our Story
As parents of teens, we started Parent Connections to create a community of like-minded people going through the challenging and rewarding experience of raising a teenager.
We knew, with first-hand experience, that parenting a teenager is a challenging and sometimes lonely experience. We wanted to provide a safe space to come together, connect and share experiences with others who understood.
We noticed that while many resources were available for parents of young children, there needed to be more support groups specifically for parents of teens. There needed to be a space for parents to come together to talk about the unique challenges and joys of parenting a teenager.
We realised that we weren’t alone in our experiences and that many other parents faced similar challenges. So then, using our experiences and qualifications, we decided to start Parent Connections and share our expertise by offering a support group and workshops.
Our mission is to empower parents to navigate the teen years with confidence and to build strong, healthy relationships with their teens.

Why Us?
At Parent Connections, we understand that being a parent or carer can be challenging, especially when it comes to navigating the complex world of teenagers. That’s why our programs are tailor-made to suit the specific needs and concerns of parents and carers in our community.
We believe that it’s essential for parents and carers to have a safe and supportive space where they can talk freely about their experiences without fear of judgement. It’s why we created workshops, weekly talks, blogs, and a forum that focus on current topics and concerns and provide a space for open and honest discussion.
The journey of parenting a teenager can be challenging and we know that having the tools to help can be empowering. It’s why we strive to provide parents and carers with evidence-based guidance and resources on strategies for connecting with teens.
We want you to know that you’re not alone.
Parent Connections is a community where you can share your experiences and learn from others, knowing you are supported and understood.
