Behind the Group Chat: Understanding Friendships, Pressure and Independence

Adolescence is a time of big social shifts. Friendships play a powerful role in shaping identity, wellbeing and decision-making.

This practical and engaging workshop will explore the emotional world of teenage girls, including:

• How friendships influence mental health and self-esteem

• The impact of peer pressure, both online and offline

• Navigating difficult friendships

• What healthy autonomy looks like in the teenage years

• Strategies to help your daughter set boundaries, make wise choices and stay true to herself

• How parents can stay connected and supportive in this space.

Parents and carers of students in Years 7–12 are warmly encouraged to attend. A live Q&A will follow the presentation.
