Supporting teens with social anxiety:  LIVE Q&A with a Clinical Psychologist

As the festive season approaches, the pressure to be sociable and take risks increases for teenagers and young adults. While it is normal for teens to experiment and test boundaries, for those who are experimenting to find relief from feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, irritability, and negative thoughts, it can lead to quicker addictions and worsening mental health over time, particularly because their brains are still developing.

We will be talking to Fiona Spargo-Mabbs about how to guide teens toward making safer and smarter decisions regarding their drug and alcohol choices.


Underage Drinking and Substance Misuse in Teens

This session reveals how Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) appears in teenagers and effective therapies for overcoming intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. Host Tara Dolby is joined by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Zöe Kindyis from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. Dr. Kindyis, who specialises in OCD, will discuss what OCD is, its signs and symptoms, and how parents and carers can support teenagers in treating and managing the condition.


OCD – How to help, support & make a difference

Teenagers' attitudes towards pressure, especially at school, ranging from negativity, lack of motivation, and inconsistent study habits to perfectionism and overworking, can significantly impact their mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and burnout. Parental pressure, although well-intentioned, can harm self-esteem if parents' definitions of success differ from their child's. Remember, your child is their own person.

Cathy Ellott, Head of Putney & Streatham High, and Dr. Sarah-Jane Knight will discuss how to build an environment for teens that balances support and challenge and fosters a healthy attitude towards learning. They will explore how schools and homes promoting realistic, open communication, emotional support, and a balanced approach to studying and results, can help teens focus on their own expectations and abilities, and build their resilience through trial and error.


How Parents Can Help Teens deal with School Pressure

Teens are at a complicated crossroads in life, gaining independence but often lacking the judgement to make adult decisions. Social and internal pressures they feel themselves , along with the rise in negative body image amplified by social media, can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth, which is perhaps why rates of disordered eating among children and adolescents are increasing. Early intervention is key in helping teens with eating issues, but often help can be hard to access. By understanding the signs, symptoms, and treatment options for teen eating disorders, you’ll be better equipped to get your teen the help they need.
