How to help a teenager
Adolescence is a period of great change, and anxiety in adolescence can sometimes be a source of worry for the people in a teen’s life. Adults can experience uncertainty and doubt or feel overwhelmed by the situation, all of which is completely normal.
Know that you are not the only one going through trying times, and that there are concrete things everyone can do to identify teen anxiety symptoms, support teens’ well-being and help them grow—even during the hardest periods. Adults can play a key active role in this decisive, yet normal developmental stage.
We created the Family Toolkit to support you and help you find everyday solutions. It is aimed at families and school staff, with tools designed specifically for each group.
FOR FAMILIES
– Clear and scientifically validated information
– Practical tips
– Videos and personal accounts
FOR SCHOOL STAFF
– Pedagogical tools created with experts
– Advice
– Videos and podcasts
WITH THIS TOOLKIT
We want to help you better understand adolescence and psychological distress, looking past prejudice and taboos so that you can learn how to deal with teen anxiety and depression from a more level-headed standpoint.
