Adolescence is a time of great transition for young people and their families. While it is healthy for young people to begin forming their own identity, this is often not without its challenges. Conflict, communication difficulties and a lack of understanding can result. At such an important time, it can be easy to become overwhelmed by the challenges that may be faced.
These challenges can include:
- abuse or violence in the family;
- adolescent:
- development issues and relationship conflict within the family;
- depression; and
- low self-esteem; - coming to terms with new family arrangements;
- communication difficulties;
- drug and/or alcohol use;
- expressing emotions such as anger, anxiety and sadness;
- relationships with friends and peers;
- relationship breakdown within the family;
- school related problems;
- self-harm and risk taking activities;
- sexuality issues; and/or
- coping strategies and managing stress.
If you are experiencing any of the above, then this service may be of help to you.
Centrecare’s Counselling for Adolescent and Parents Service provides support for young people aged 12-18 and their parents/caregivers to find creative solutions to conflicts and challenges they may be experiencing.
