i was joined by two fabulous therapists, Anne and Gemma, and some amazing parents who shared their experiences of support (or lack of) and what is needed to help parents of neurodivergent teens.
Anxiety isn’t just something teens struggle with—parents feel it too. In this session, our members share their real experiences with anxiety, offering insight, reassurance, and practical ways to navigate it together.
Is it attitude or anxiety? When teens push back, shut down, or seem ‘difficult,’ it’s often a sign of something deeper. In this workshop, we’ll uncover the difference between teen defiance and hidden anxiety—and explore practical strategies to respond with confidence and support.
