Living With Teenagers
Parental Support Sessions
A structured parenting programme which empowers parents and carers with practical skills, confidence and peer support to strengthen relationships and support their teenagers. As part of the programme, participants will also take part in a Mindful Music session at Raw Material.
Living With Teenagers (LWT) is an evidence-based parenting programme delivered through the NHS EPEC (Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities) model. Running over ten weeks, the programme provides practical tools, peer support and guided discussion to help parents and carers navigate the challenges of raising teenagers.
Built into the programme is PENsiv — a supportive, creative writing programme designed to help participants explore their inner world, build confidence, and transform raw expression into crafted poems and stories. Drawing on insights from psychology, the workshops explore the difference between expressive writing (writing to understand and process emotions) and creative writing (writing shaped for meaning, structure, and impact).
Together these sessions aim to strengthen relationships with teenagers, build confidence in supporting young people's wellbeing and connect parents/carers with community support networks.
