When Your Teen Won't Talk: Supporting Youth Mental Health Through Connection

This webinar explores one of the questions parents and caregivers ask most often: How do I support my teen’s mental health when they don’t want to talk or accept help? Hear directly from youth and young adults with lived experience as they share what helps them feel heard, understood, and supported during difficult conversations. Through practical examples and honest discussion, you'll learn how to build trust, navigate resistance, validate feelings without escalating conflict, and encourage help-seeking while respecting your young person’s autonomy. Whether your teen is opening up, shutting down, or somewhere in between, this webinar offers compassionate insights to help you strengthen connection, support their well-being, and care for yourself along the way.
