Mental health and wellbeing

To support your teenager’s mental health and wellbeing, it's important to understand how anxiety, depression, stress and other challenges can impact a young person’s daily life. These resources can help parents and carers recognise the early warning signs of mental health struggles, while also providing practical strategies to boost your child’s emotional resilience. Learn how to start tough but necessary conversations about mental health, connect your teen with appropriate professional support if they need it, and look after your own wellbeing while looking after them.
