A new parenting workshop – coming soon
We’re building something new at Make (Good) Trouble, and we’d really love your help shaping it.
We’re piloting a brand-new online workshop for parents and carers of teenagers. It’s practical, evidence-based, and designed to help adults connect, communicate, and stay steady through the teenage years.
If parenting a teen has ever left you feeling worried, exhausted, anxious, or unsure — you’re not alone. That lived experience is exactly why this course exists.
Our work builds on years of listening to young people, including our BBC Radio series Raising Teens, co-created with adolescents and youth mental health professionals. Across five series, The Teenage Brain was the most listened-to episode — and it’s shaped everything we’re creating now.
What the pilot looks like
- Online, small-group sessions
- Around 2 hours, plus a follow-up session a week later
- Bring a real issue (and a cuppa ☕)
- Practical tools you can try out straight away
- Calm, confidential, non-judgemental breakout groups
The golden ticket:
Pilot participants receive free access to the full course when it launches, plus all online materials.
You don’t need to join to help
Even if you don’t plan to take part, we’d really value your opinion.
We’re asking parents and carers to complete a short questionnaire about:
- What helpful parenting support actually looks like
- What’s worked (or hasn’t) before
- When and how support fits into busy lives
- Whether current support reflects culture, identity, and lived experience
Your responses will directly shape the course.
