Mental Health Commission
The new Think Mental Health campaign, ‘Communicating and Connecting with Your Teen’, launched today and features short animated videos.
The videos feature tips and strategies to help support parents, guardians and carers of teenagers aged 12 to 17.
Western Australian data indicates that 13 to 17-year-olds are experiencing high levels of psychological distress. While parents and family members are identified as teenagers’ primary support, many parents don’t feel confident about knowing where to seek help.
The campaign is designed to build parents’, guardians’ and carers’ confidence that they have the skills to communicate with their teen and help their teen to understand and navigate their emotions.
