Understanding and managing teen emotions

Wondering how you can support your teen and their big emotions? Wanting to know more about how your teen's brain develops?

Our team who have backgrounds in psychology, social work, youth work, and education have put together this one-hour presentation packed full of ways we can support our teenagers to manage their big emotions. During the presentation we will walk you through the psychology around emotions and development as well as strategies you can implement in your household to manage your young person's emotions. This 1 hour session is followed by a 30 minute Q&A.

This session is led by our bubbly Amber, a Canterbury-based youth worker with over 15 years of experience. In addition to being a mum, Amber has worked with youth in various contexts, including supporting ākonga in alternative education and supporting Ōtautahi teens after the Christchurch Earthquakes. In addition to mahi with Canterbury teens, Amber also provides supervision for other Canterbury youth workers.
