Parents

Supporting young people as they go through adolescence is difficult but do you know what is actually going on inside their brain to influence their behaviour?

This video is full of valuable information to help parents and carers develop a better insight into the brain and its development during adolescence.

Parents, you are not alone and there are lots of support networks and sources of information for you to access.

This section will provide you with some useful contacts that you can have on hand in case you need some help and advice in order to support your children with their mental health.

These are particularly useful for parents and further contacts for young people can be found in the 'seniors' section of this site.

Selecting appropriate books when there is such a huge selection can be daunting.

Here are some recommended reads with a brief synopsis to give you an idea of the content of each book.

We hope that these recommendations are useful for you. 

With a huge selection of resources available, and many websites and organisations offering support, choosing a suitable resource can be overwhelming.

Here are a few suggestions of well known organisations that could offer support to parents should the need arise.  They are all user friendly and clearly signpost you to different areas of mental health support and resources.
