Tuning in to Teens is a free six-session parenting program for parents of young people aged 10-18 years.

Would you like to learn how to:

be better at talking with your teen?

be better at understanding your teen?

help your teen learn to manage their emotions?

help to prevent behaviour problems in your teen?

Tuning in to Teens shows you how to help your teen develop emotional intelligence. Adolescents with higher emotional intelligence:

are more aware, assertive and strong in situations of peer pressure

have greater success with making friends and are more able to manage conflict with peers

are more able to cope when upset or angry

have fewer mental health and substance abuse difficulties

have more stable and satisfying relationships as adults

have greater career success

Participants must be able to commit to the six weeks to gain the full benefits of the program. Due to high demand of the program, priority will be given to those who reside or have a child in secondary school within the City of Maribyrnong.
