In this episode, we discuss ways to support our teens with their mental and emotional wellbeing.
Wendy is a counsellor with over 8 years of experience in working with young people. Wendy is passionate about educating and empowering young people to help them live their best life.
Today’s culture places a high level of stress and expectation of young people without equipping them with the tools to cope. Wendy has developed the A-Maze-In Mind Program to fill this gap.
The A-Maze-In Mind app was created with a passion to help young people. It originally started as a tool for young people affected by Foster Care who may not have had a stable, parent figure in their lives that they could talk to or learn from. It then developed into a tool that would benefit all young people.
Wendy wanted to create a tool that didn’t tell young people what to do, think or feel but gave them information about common issues, demonstrated tools and strategies that could help with different issues, and gave them the choice and power to decide what would work for them.
The app helps them develop the skills to explore what they are thinking and feeling, to be able to recognise when it's unhelpful, how they can reach out for help or start difficult conversations and so much more.
I highly recommend that parents also read through the tools and resources in the app. This will allow them to support their child, create conversations, share their thoughts and feelings, and maybe even learn something new themselves.
