We support you through the challenges of raising a teen.
Raising a teenager can, at times, feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone.
At Parent Connections, we offer a lifeline for parents navigating the teen years.
Feel like you can’t do another day of worrying about your teen?
How we can help you
Parent survival skills
To help you have a better relationship with your teen and to handle your teen’s life challenges.
Here’s a workshop that gives you practical strategies & support.
Our workshop incorporates key elements of the Tuning in to Teens™ program.
Real Talk with Teens
Bridging the gap: what teens want adults to understand.
We share insights from teens to help parents better understand & connect.
Parent Connections partners with schools, councils, sporting and recreation groups, and the wider community.
You don’t have to feel like you’re alone on this parenting journey.
Ask questions & get support
There are mothers’ groups for babies, but what about a group for parents of teens?
You’re invited to join our online community and ask questions or discuss any issues you are experiencing with your teen. It’s a space for you to connect with other parents of teens who understand what you’re going through.
