Families with secondary school children & teenagers (11-19 years)
Your Secondary School journey begins here!
The journey through secondary school is a time of immense growth and discovery for young people, and a unique phase for their families. We understand that this period can present distinct challenges, from academic pressures to evolving social dynamics. Sandwell Family Hubs are committed to supporting you through it all, working collaboratively with services across Sandwell to provide comprehensive assistance for families with teenagers.
Your Child's Health
Helping your child stay healthy during their secondary school years is a key part of their growth and development. From navigating physical changes to understanding their emotional well-being and sexual health there's a lot to consider. In Sandwell, a network of support is available to help you and your child, and it's all just a click or a call away.
Support for Parents
Children don't come with an instruction manual and we all need a bit of help and guidance from time to time. That’s why in Sandwell, we offer a range of FREE programmes for parents/carers. These are delivered face-to-face as well as online. Wherever you are on your parenting journey there is a course available for you.
