Parenting is an endurance sport. Raising a child in this day and age isn’t easy, given the changes in our lifestyle and structural changes in the Indian family.Family, along with school, becomes an important part of a child’s support system, playing a vital role in their mental health and overall wellbeing. Research shows that young people who experience a nurturing environment and are provided with emotional, social and physical support are most likely to experience positive wellbeing and reach their full potential.
This booklet hopes to educate parents regarding adolescent mental health and their evolving role as parents during this stage.
