Following on from the countrywide interest in Adolescence, we have seen an increase in parents/carers becoming more aware of the well-being of their children and young people. To support this, Kooth are running a virtual webinar around the wellbeing of young people for parents & carers in Greater Manchester.

They will share Tameside-specific data from the #BeeWell survey and from Kooth, to highlight what topics, themes and presenting issues are important, relevant and prominent in Tameside. They will also share information about the free, anonymous support available on Kooth and Qwell to ensure those who need support, be it young people or adults, are able to access.

The registration form can be found here: Kooth Parent & Carer Webinar - The Voice of Young People.
