NOTICE - the parent workshop by Let's Be Real
Learn how to notice what’s changed, open the conversation and know what to do when they finally talk.
NOTICE · 4 hours · €79.00 · Live online
“The conversations that matter rarely arrive neatly. They happen at the kitchen table, in the car, or in the long silence before bed.”
Most parents we work with are not short of love or worry. What they describe is the fear of saying the wrong thing - and watching the door close a little further.
In our experience, more questions, more pressure or a quick fix often make teenagers retreat. What helps is a calmer way in, and knowing what to do once they start to talk.
Start tonight - free
Before you book anything, try one small thing. A one-page guide with ten gentle openers and the follow-ups that keep a conversation going. Pick one and use it tonight.

After one of our workshops, parents asked whether we could support them if their child ever needed a therapist. At the time, the honest answer was “no”. That question changed my work - I began training as a psychotherapist (non-medical practitioner, Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie) so that the answer could become “yes”.
Parents
Unprompted feedback from participants in our workshops - comments, not measured results.
"I see things differently now."
"I know what to say."
"I stopped trying to fix everything."
"My child actually talked to me."
"I feel more confident - and less frightened."
"I came expecting to learn how to recognise signs of mental health difficulties. What I actually took away was a completely different way of talking to my child."
"The biggest change for me was realising that I don't have to have the answer. I just need to stay in the conversation."
"I left with practical language I could use that evening. It didn't feel like another parenting lecture. It felt useful."
A - Arrive calm, N - Notice, C - Confirm you've heard, H - Honour the limits, O - Organise support, R - Return - six steps you can use the same evening, taught with real family examples rather than clinical theory.
Parents and carers of children aged roughly 9 to 18, whether or not you are currently worried. No prior knowledge, no reading, no clinical background required. Grandparents, step-parents and guardians are equally welcome.

Reserve a placeOne workshop, examples tuned across three stages. Parents of children in more than one band regularly attend together.
Late primary. Feelings still get named out loud, but worry, friendship pressure and school anxiety start to show up as body complaints and bedtime resistance.
The transition years. Conversations get shorter, privacy grows and the first real distress often hides behind irritability or withdrawal. Many of the workshop examples come from this age group.
Older teens. Identity, achievement pressure, phones and friendships dominate. The task shifts from asking questions to keeping the door open without pushing.
ANCHOR is the six-step method. NOTICE, HOLD and LEAD teach it to the three groups of adults around a young person, as part of Youth Mental Health Response.

Cohorts run through the school year in English and German, with a private option for schools who want their whole parent community trained together.
