What age group is the program designed for?
Tuning into Teens® is designed for parents and carers of young people aged 10–18. Is this suitable if my teen & I are already doing well? Absolutely. The program isn’t just for families experiencing difficulties — it’s also a great way to strengthen communication, deepen connection and build skills before challenges arise. How big are the groups? Our groups are kept small, with a maximum of 8 participants, to create a relaxed, supportive & connected environment. What happens during the sessions? Sessions include practical learning, group discussion, short videos, reflection activities and opportunities to practise new skills in a supportive environment. Do I have to share personal information? No. You’re welcome to participate at your own comfort level. There are opportunities to reflect and share, but you’ll never be pressured to discuss anything personal. Can both parents attend? Yes. Both parents or carers are very welcome to attend. Each participant registers separately, and attending together can be a great way to build a shared approach at home. |
Is there anything I need to do between sessions?
There’s no formal homework, but you’ll be encouraged to practise the strategies at home between sessions. Real-life practice help you get the most from the program. What if I miss a session? We encourage attendance at all six sessions, however, if you’re unable to attend in person, you may have the option to join via Zoom. Is the program confidential? Yes. Respect, privacy and confidentiality are an important part of creating a safe and supportive group environment. Can I join after the program has started? As each session builds on the last, and trust and connection develop within the group, new participants are unable to join after Session 2. Where are in-person sessions held? Sessions are held in person in Peregian Beach on the Sunshine Coast, with the bonus Mindful Tutor session held online via Zoom. What is included in the program fee? Your registration includes all six sessions, your participant workbook and resources, follow up support, and one bonus online Mindful Tutor session. |
