What you'll learn

In this two-hour session, you will learn how to support and most effectively be alongside your 15-18-year-olds, with what they need to flourish and thrive in this phase of adolescence.

In this later phase of adolescence, young people need our support to feel capable and able to navigate challenges and changes during this time, as they take on more responsibilities and become more independent.

As young people start to make more decisions about their lives, they are also learning to: become more secure in who they are, apply their morals and values to their attitudes, make choices, and further develop the skills they need to be successful in their lives, passions, and learning.

Our 15-18-year-olds need us to be available and interested in what is happening in their worlds, with resources, information and support ready for them, when they need some connection and refuelling.
