Parenting Resources for Teens & Young Adults

Parental stress can be difficult to navigate, whether you’re trying to find the best mental health for your child or dealing with your challenges as a young parent.

Parenting teens & young adults

Parenting often feels difficult at any stage of life, especially when you’re learning how to navigate a teen or young adult struggling with mental health concerns. Charlie Health works with parents alongside their children to develop healthy parenting styles that are supportive rather than dismissive or critical.

It’s important to adjust both your parenting style and your child’s perception of your parenting style, particularly when they’re experiencing serious mental health challenges.
