My Teens Mental Health & Wellbeing

Parents and carers have an incredibly important role in supporting their child's mental health and wellbeing. Your teenage child needs good mental health to develop in a healthy way, build strong relationships and deal with challenges. A strong and loving relationship with you can have a direct and positive impact on your child’s mental health.
