We will talk about ideas for managing smartphone habits, focusing on how too much screen time can affect teens’ mental health, including the signs that a teen may be struggling due to excessive screen use.

We will talk to Dr Helen Curran about how to help older teens through A Level results day and their transition to university.

Supporting your Teenager through  exam results & the transition to University.

Summer can bring relief from school stress, but for families with one or more neurodivergent teens, it also raises questions around balance, boredom, and burnout.

This session explores how to plan holidays that meet everyone’s needs, and includes rest, connection and routine without overwhelm, and when/how to prepare for the return to school especially if your teen has been out of school or avoids it altogether.


Teens & Neurodiversity: Understanding, supporting & guiding

Supporting a teenager who self-harms can feel overwhelming. Panic, fear, and confusion often cloud the way forward, leaving parents unsure how to respond and afraid of making things worse. In this session, we speak with the author of \*When Teens Self-Harm, \*a clinical psychologist with years of experience working with young people and families, about how parents can move from fear to calm, and create a safe, validating environment.

We’ll talk about why some young people self-harm, how to support them without judgement, and how to manage your own emotional response. We’ll also discuss how parents can talk to their teens schools, and how to shift from solution oriented to being fully present when your teen needs you most.
