About this service
Parenting a teenager comes with new challenges and changes - but you don’t have to face them alone.
Through Young Greenwich Parenting Support, we offer FREE advice, workshops, and counselling for parents of children aged 10–19 (or up to 25 if your child has SEND) living in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
Our aim is to empower and equip parents with the tools, confidence, and emotional support to navigate these changing relationships and strengthen their well-being in the process.
We provide a non-judgmental space where parents can connect, share, and grow together. Our approach is unique - we focus not only on your parenting, but on you as a person: what you need, what drives you, and what can help you feel happier and more fulfilled both as an individual and a parent.
What We Offer:
Workshops for Parents
Join our interactive, topic-based workshops designed to meet the real needs of parents raising teenagers. Each session focuses on a key area of parenting - from communication and confidence-building to managing conflict, understanding teenage emotions, and self-care.
These workshops are practical, engaging, and relatable, helping parents feel supported, equipped, and more connected to their teens and to themselves.
Counselling
We offer a free 6-week block of counselling sessions to support you with specific challenges or emotional struggles you may be facing as a parent.
Our qualified counsellors provide a safe, confidential, and understanding space to talk things through and find healthy ways forward.
