LGBTQIA+ Tuning in to Teens helps parents strengthen communication and emotional connection with their teens.

The LGBTQIA+ Tuning in to Teens program is a free, seven-week parenting program designed for parents and carers of young people who may identify as LGBTQIA+ who live, work, study or have a connection to Brimbank. The program is especially suited for parents who want to improve connection and better manage everyday challenges with their teenagers.

Across the seven online sessions, parents learn about:
– Emotional intelligence
– The five steps of emotion coaching
– Different parenting styles
– Practical strategies for managing anger
– Resolving conflict
– Promoting emotional self-care

Parents who have completed the program report feeling calmer, more confident, and closer to their teens, with noticeable improvements in their teen’s behaviour and emotional wellbeing.
