We are excited to introduce our Parent Support Group for parents of teens in Bexley and the surrounding areas.
Navigating life with a teenager comes with its own set of challenges. After many years of working directly with teens, I know that there isn’t much support out there without waiting for a long time. Managing the mental health of a young person can feel quite isolating and lonely. People often feel lost at sea or as if they are getting things all wrong.
“Time to Talk Teens” will allow you to rebuild your relationship with your teen, find your village, who you can turn to for support, and give you strategies to navigate the difficulties of managing behaviour and emotions. Based on previously successful programmes for teens, we are now offering support for parents.
Starting 5th June through to May 2026, term times, we will be running drop-in group sessions for parents of teens through our Time to Talk Teens or Tweens Group campaign.
These sessions will be free to join, and you can come along whenever you wish. There is a link to our Eventbrite page below should you wish to book in advance. The sessions will be funded by the National Lottery.
