Join a community of change-makers.
Change the world...
Help parents understand teens and make their own choices?
Teen specialist consultants have a width and breadth of knowledge about young people aged 13-19 that is completely unrivalled within any training I have ever found. We are keen for the view of teenagers in our society to change and we look at the relationship between parents and their growing children in a completely unique way, approaching both people in the relationship and trying to help them understand each other and work together.
As a consultant you will be able to support and educate parents with a thorough understanding of the biological, physiological, neurological, and psychological perspectives of being a teenager, and looking at the social aspect that is impacting their world. You will also be working with teenagers, either booking privately or by working with schools, home education groups, youth organisations or family health providers to deliver sessions to young people in their charge.
You will need to come into this with huge enthusiasm and empathy for teenagers and their parents. The rest we can support you in learning. A good sense of humour and an ability to speak openly about any topic will set you in a good position to work in this role. We learn a huge evidence base to ensure we really know our stuff and we offer frameworks that provide solid foundations for having calmer relationships now and in the future. You can read a full outline of the training course below.
We are educators, consultants and specialists, but not experts. Families learn how to be experts in each other more and more as we facilitate their calmer relationship.
