Our workshop is a 3-hour intensive session designed to help parents and carers of teenagers.

The workshop will give you practical strategies and tools to help you better connect with your teen, work through any issues as they arise, and create a calm environment.

This workshop is tailored to suit your needs: we cover topics that impact each attendee and their family. It’s not textbook theory – it’s applying strategies straight away for your family.

It will also help you develop a clear direction for your family and feel supported as a parent through our group discussions.

We’ve designed the 3-hour workshop for busy families struggling to find time to attend longer workshops across multiple days or evenings. Our workshop is an intensive session with key strategies you can take away and implement immediately.

We focus on: nurturing healthy communication with your teen, understanding your teen’s behaviour, and building stronger relationships between the two of you.

We provide workshops online and in person. Both provide you with the tools and strategies to help.

For the October 2023 series of workshops, these are in-person as we value the unique benefits that a face-to-face workshop can offer.

We also know that after the past couple of years with Covid and lockdowns, it might feel daunting to attend face-to-face sessions. It’s like we’re a bit out of practice coming together. It’s a little bit anxiety-inducing, leaving the comfort of our homes. We get it!

But with our in-person workshops, it’s a great opportunity for you to engage in real-time discussions and ask questions. Our environment allows for a more immersive and dynamic experience where you can connect with us and fellow parents on a deeper level.

We will also be posting dates for our online workshop series. Stay tuned!
