Your Child's Wellbeing
Supporting your Teenager in Sandwell
Adolescence is a time of incredible change, both physically and emotionally. As parents, you know that teenagers often experience "big emotions"—feelings that can be intense, overwhelming, and confusing. The pressures of school, social life, personal identity, and the digital world all contribute to a complex emotional landscape. It's perfectly normal for teens to face periods where they feel stressed, anxious, or low.
From time to time, every young person may need a little extra help navigating these challenges. Recognising these signs and having accessible, trusted resources is vital for their long-term health and success.
We want to ensure your teenager doesn't have to face this journey alone. Sandwell is committed to supporting your teen's emotional health, wellbeing, and overall development.
