allowing them to be assertive in how they handle the many challenges that young

Family Communications: Coping with Teens and Family

This 8 week programme introduces the concept of the strong family unit, supporting
parents to build relationships by ensuring the core ingredients of good communication
and assertive parenting are in place within the family. Parents will learn the 4-step
process of clear and direct communication also known as NVC.

supported to explore the many changes and challenges that occur for teens as they move
through puberty and how you as a parent can support your teen at this vulnerable time.

can present with such as power struggles. As a parent the programme helps you to learn
when to step in and when to step back.
