Parenting teenagers can be likened to a rollercoaster, with many ups and downs along the way. Some parents see changes in their teenager almost overnight whereas others may see a gradual change. Teenagers can also experience highs and lows through changes in their lives, both emotionally and physically. You may feel more anxious as your teen becomes more independent and it can become harder to give them advice. Parenting teenagers can be an enjoyable experience with a little bit of preparation and we offer a wealth of information on the different issues you might face.

Parents - We all want our children to live in a safe and loving environment so that they can grow up to become happy, confident adults.

The purpose of the site is to provide the UK with a huge support network of counsellors and organisations, enabling those seeking help to find a counsellor close to them and appropriate for their needs. This is a free, confidential service that will hopefully help those students who may be feeling distressed, find some support. The site contains a wealth of information about mental health and useful articles written by qualified counsellors which will hopefully help them to realise that they are not alone and help is at hand. We are passionate about breaking the stigma of mental illness and believe everyone deserves happiness - this is what we wish for our visitors. If a student decides that they would like to speak to someone, they can contact a counsellor or organisation in their area in complete confidence. The site lists charities and organisations who offer their services free of charge and many counsellors also offer student concessions. If they decide they wish to contact a private counsellor, fees are quoted on their personal profiles alongside their qualifications and experience. To ensure the professionalism of our website, all counsellors have provided us with qualifications and insurance cover or proof of membership with a professional body

In general, most young people, especially those under 16, trust their parents and will respond to any information and support you offer. However, as teenagers get older the culture gap may widen and communication may be more difficult. This does not mean you should not try. Before you do talk to your child about drugs, make sure you have accurate, up-to-date information about different types of drugs (explore our A-Z of drugs or FAQs) and make the time to have the conversation
