👋 Calling parents and carers of teenagers…
We’re piloting a brand-new online workshop for parents and carers of teens — practical, evidence-based, and designed to help you connect, communicate, and survive (and sometimes even thrive!) through the teenage years.
If you’ve ever felt scared, exhausted, worried, confused, or all of the above while parenting a teen… same. That’s exactly why we’ve built this.
At Make (Good) Trouble, we’ve spent years working directly with young people, helping them find their voice. Seven years ago we launched our BBC Radio series Raising Teens — co-created with adolescents and youth mental health professionals. Out of all the episodes, The Teenage Brain was listened to more than any other… and it’s that learning (and listening) that’s helped shaped this course.
💬 What’s the pilot like?
Online
Small, supportive groups
Around 2 hours, plus a follow-up session a week later
Come with a real issue (and a cuppa ☕)
Learn practical tools, try them out, and see what actually helps
You’ll work with experienced facilitators, meet other parents, and practice ways to:
Build trust and emotional connection
Navigate conflict more calmly
Improve communication at home
Meet teens where they are — emotionally, culturally, digitally
Get signposted to further support if needed
This course is designed by parents, informed by professionals, and shaped by honest, mischievous, eloquent teenagers — with support from former teachers and experts in the adolescent brain.
🎟 The golden ticket:
Families who take part in the pilot get free access to the full course when it launches, plus all online materials — no extra cost.
If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to have you.

Cheers 💛
