UPSKILL MICRO-CREDENTIAL
Working with Adolescents (WWA)
Working with adolescents is a rewarding and challenging area. Teenage years bring with them a new set of challenges for clients, which include the start of puberty, a deeper understanding of their world, a desire for independence, romantic relationships and a focus on the future. Additionally, it is a time where parents/caregivers begin to struggle with understanding the changes in their child’s behaviour, new friendship groups and desire to have more independence. It is a time of change and growth (some angst), often marred by teens pushing the status quo of their families and wishing to create their own space in the world. This at times can cause disruption in their wellbeing and sense of self. As therapists, it is important that we work with them to assist through these times to create the foundation for stable mental wellbeing, both now and in the future.
