Parents Need Support
to help your teen thrive.
Teens don’t come with an owners manual
It’s Monday morning, what’s the issue of the weekend?
Teens often struggle to tell their parents why they are upset - and parents can learn to make this an easier process.
You are an adult, you understand how the world works - and every teen has some resistance to hearing their parents instructions.
More and more, young people report they suffer from lack of motivation, purpose and hope.
Families committed
to lasting change
Parents and other adults who work with teens are noticing an increase in the early warning signs and behaviors that frequently lead to more serious mental health issues. This includes more behavioral issues - in and out of class - that affect the class and community, often negatively impacting learning and the emotional wellness of a broader audience.
Adults want to help but are unsure of how to support emotional or disengaged students. While it may seem compassionate, the simple response of removing stressors actually deprives our teens of the opportunities to develop skills to rise to the challenge and level up.
At the most foundational layer, many students are not learning or mastering skills for Mental Wellness and Emotional Fitness.
HAERT Parent Education teaches what and how to communicate with students who are transitioning to adulthood. This is the support you need to support your children.
