Parent of Teens Support Groups
Along with joining the EPIC Community, here are some other parent group and sessions you might find helpful:
EPIC Online Meet Upsa regular place for parents and carers of young people to meet and gain strategies, knowledge and connection. The meetings are created by parents with lived experience of caring for a young person in crisis, for parents and carers of young people aged 12-25 who are facing challenges. The meetings are connecting, informative, interactive.
EPIC Walks/coffee are all about connection for parents of teens. We walk, talk, listen, laugh, cry and relax. With so much going on in our daily lives it’s important for us all with troubled teens to take a moment to share, unwind a little and realise we are not on this journey alone.
LocalKind Youth & Family Counselling is a no-fee, safe, caring, and supportive counselling space for individual young people and/or their families.
