Featured Speakers
Maggie Dent: "Help Me Help My Teen".
Commonly known as the "queen of common sense" Maggie Dent is one of Australia's favourite parenting authors and educators. This seminar, based on Maggie’s latest book, is a reassuring, practical guide for parents to help teenagers navigate adolescence and grow into confident, capable adults. Adolescence has always been a time of huge transformation, but today's teens deal with challenges that parents may never have imagined. An increasingly digital world filled with social media, gaming and harmful content, along with changing cultural norms, has intensified the pressure to excel and 'fit in' – leading to heightened levels of stress, anxiety and depression.

Paul Dillon:
"Teens, Parties, Alcohol, and Vapes: What Parents Need to Know".
Adolescence is a challenging time for all concerned, with many parents feeling as though they are not adequately prepared, particularly in areas such as alcohol and other drugs. Every family is different and there are a range of different circumstances that will dictate how a parent responds to problems that may arise in this area. Having good quality, accurate information is vital.
