Let's be Real - Mental Health for Young Minds
Parent workshop on teenage mental health
For parents and carers who want to talk to their teenager about what is really going on - and be met with more than a flat “I'm fine”.
Our NOTICE workshop runs as two live two-hour sessions online, one week apart, in English and German. Schools can also book a private parent cohort.
What you will be able to do
- Recognise subtle emotional and behavioural changes
- Respond without immediately trying to fix the problem
- Ask questions that invite conversation
- Stay present when emotions are uncomfortable
- Strengthen trust through everyday interactions
Supporting your teenager's mental health at home
Most of the work is not a big talk. It is the everyday communication between parent and teen: how you ask, how you react to the answer, and whether the door stays open for the next attempt. We practise those exchanges, including the ones that go badly.
The ANCHOR framework
Acknowledge, Notice, Connect, Hold space, Open up stigma, Remain - six moves you can use the same evening, taught with real family examples.
Practical details
€96 for the full workshop: two live two-hour sessions online via Zoom. Refunds are available up to 30 days before the event.

- Will this turn me into a therapist?
