Tuning into Teens

Emotionally Intelligent Parenting

A FREE six session parenting program for parents of teens. Delivered at headspace Lilydale during Term 1 2025.

Parenting can be a challenge at times so would you like to learn how to:

• communicate more effectively with your teen?
• understand your teen better?
• help your teen to manage those difficult emotions?
• help to prevent behavioural issues in your teen?
• teach your teen how to deal with conflict more effectively?

Tuning into Teens shows you how to help your teen to develop emotional intelligence. Research shows teens with higher emotional
intelligence:

• have more stable and satisfying relationships as adults,
• are able to deal with peer pressure better,
• are more able to cope positively when upset or angry,
• have fewer mental health issues and
• substance abuse difficulties.

The IPS program integrates employment and vocational services with clinical mental health and non-vocational support, and focuses on the individual needs of young people with mental illness who are seeking to enter, or remain in, education and/or employment. 

IPS workers can provide work support to young people for as long as needed.

What is it?
IPS stands for individual placement support. IPS supported employment is a specialised program that helps young people with mental health concerns work in regular jobs and in jobs that they are interested in and passionate about. It's all about finding you a job you love, and where you can work in a safe environment with an employer that respects you and where you're at in your recovery journey.

Who can attend?
Any young person 16-25 years looking for work or education opportunities.

Education and employment assistance - IPS will help you to get the job you want.
