Tuning into Teens Program
headspace Horsham and the Uniting Early Help team are offering the 'Tuning into Teens' programs in 2024 to families of young people. This 6-week program will be delivered online from 6-8pm every Wednesday beginning March 13th and concluding April 17th. Helen Dickson and Esther Joyce are the facilitators of the program and they would like to share this opportunity family and friends supporting young people.
Registrations close on February 19th, 2024.
What is Tuning into Teens?
Tuning into Teens is a six-week parenting program run one evening a week for two hours. The program will teach parents and carers how to work with their own and their young person’s emotions. By learning and practicing these skills, parents/carers are less likely to have as much conflict within their family and have more open conversations with their young person about the challenges they face. These are factors that have been found to reduce the risk of mental health and substance abuse problems.
If you’d like to learn more about the program, please get in touch via email to info.headspacehorsham@vt.uniting.org or phone (03) 5381 1543.
