Description
Adolescence is a time of intense emotional change. Mood swings, strong reactions, and emotional sensitivity are often part of healthy development. Yet for many parents and carers, it can be difficult to know where normal adolescent turbulence ends and emotional distress begins.
This Webinar is about building awareness, confidence, and compassion — so that distress is recognised early, responded to calmly, and held within a supportive relationship.
This Webinar will help you notice patterns, understand what distress can look like in adolescents, and respond in ways that strengthen coping rather than increase pressure.
