Support for parents/carers

The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions it has brought has been challenging for whole families in different ways, including parents and carers.

Parents and carers are often supporting their teenagers in new ways while trying to cope with their own difficulties presented by the pandemic.

Challenges brought about by being in restrictive spaces together more often can also add a further layer of challenge.
