Need a helping hand or expert support?

Finding it too difficult to talk with your teenager? There are books, articles or videos, youth websites and hotlines that can help.

You could suggest to your teenager that someone you both trust talks with them. Make it clear you see this as important and you are trying to do the best for them.

If appropriate, support your teenager to get expert advice. Offer to go with them but be prepared if s/he wants to go alone or with a friend.

If you're worried about your teenager and want some quick advice, call Family Planning Association on 0800 372 546 or Relationship Services on 0800 735 283 or Youthline 0800 376 633
