Let's All Talk Mental Health

By this point in September, most teens have just returned to school. While some will settle quickly, for others, the adjustment can feel daunting. Whether they’re adjusting to new routines, friendships, or academic expectations, this time of year can bring a mix of both excitement and anxiety.

In this session, we’ll talk about practical ways to support teens as they ease back into school life. From setting up healthy routines and managing homework, to helping them strike the right balance between independence and structure.

We’ll also look at when and how to check in with them, ways to keep the lines of communication open, and how to recognise the signs that a teen might be unsettled or struggling beneath the surface.

This is an ideal for any parent or carer looking to start the new term feeling more confident, calm, and connected.


Back to School Anxiety: How to Help your Teen 

Dr. Sarah-Jane Knight joins us to explore how parents can support teens through key educational transitions in 2025, including moves into Year 7, Year 9, Sixth Form, or College.

She’ll talk about how to support them through these changes, how to relax routines over the summer holidays while still keeping a sense of structure, how to let them enjoy some independence while staying safe, and how to help them feel ready to go back to school or college in September.

With gaming playing a huge role in many teenagers' lives, parents often worry about its impact on mental health, behaviour, and social development. While gaming addiction affects a small percentage of young people, excessive gaming can still influence mood, sleep, and emotional wellbeing. This session talks about the effects of gaming, when to be concerned, and how to discuss boundaries to support a healthy balance.


Teens & Gaming:  A Parents Guide 

We will discuss the recent research on problematic smartphone use (PSU) in teens, and its link to increased anxiety and depression. 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. Dr. Kalk will also discuss the neurodivergent teens and their challenges with screen time.

Some teens push the limits and it’s a normal and necessary part of growing up. But many parents today struggle with where to draw the line, how to hold it, and whether being firm means risking the relationship. In this session, we will talk about setting calm, consistent boundaries that support your teen’s growing need for independence while helping them build self-control and emotional regulation. We will also talk about how these boundaries must evolve over time with age, responsibility and maturity.
