Supporting Your Teen’s Mental Health: Resources for Parents

Navigating your teenager's mental health journey can be challenging, but you're not alone. headspace, Australia's National Youth Mental Health Foundation, offers a wealth of resources tailored for parents and carers. Their dedicated family support services provide guidance on initiating conversations about mental health, recognizing signs of distress, and accessing appropriate support.

Whether you're seeking advice on how to approach sensitive topics or looking for professional assistance, headspace is here to help. Explore their comprehensive resources at https://headspace.org.au/parents/.
