Whatever is going on with your teenager,

Together we’ll get through it

Support for parents of teenagers

Living with a teenager is an emotional rollercoaster. There’s the stress of exams, peer pressure and hormones. The painful ups and downs of friendships, and fears about fitting in. Plus arguments over phones, curfews and pretty much everything else!

And then there are the really tough challenges. Like low self esteem, depression and anxiety, alcohol, drugs, self-harming and eating disorders – for some teens and their parents these are especially hard times.

From the outside, it can seem like other families are doing just fine. That it’s just our teenager who is struggling or being difficult. So we blame ourselves, or put on a brave face. We do everything we can to help our teen – but who’s there to help us when it all feels too hard? Genuine, effective and honest support for parents of teenagers is hard to find.

Whatever Together is the answer

Staying calm and strong while your teenager pushes you away isn’t easy. Keeping going while your teen is in crisis takes every ounce of strength you have (and more). Just keeping going. Then there’s the shaming and blaming when teens make mistakes. It’s hard to talk to other parents without fear of being judged (or just being hurt by a stray thoughtless comment).

How would it feel if you could talk safely and anonymously with parents going through exactly the same thing? If you had a friendship group of people who get it – that you could reach out to wherever and whenever you need?

When we talk the load is lightened

6 November 2020

As the mum of 3 boys, you might think I’d be an expert on parenting boys – not so!  As anyone with 3 the same will tell you, they can be wildly different. Same gene pool, very different children. In a way, my eldest (now 20) taught me very little as he’s always been easy,…

The transition from child to teen

24 October 2020

Parenting a teenager is something that’s crept up on me really if I’m honest. One minute they were toddlers, looking to me to meet their every need, then, almost without me realising it, they morphed into older, more independent young people. It sounds cliched I know, but it really did all happen too quickly. There’s…

My daughter’s anorexia

1 October 2020

One summer, I can distinctly remember saying to myself how happy I was with life and how well everything was going; not sure I’ve ever done that before but I sure won’t do it again. Not many weeks after, our lives turned upside down and have never been the same again. I started to notice…
