Today’s teenagers are growing up in a world filled with dangers that no generation has faced before.

Nearly half of all parents of teenagers say they feel anxious about their child’s mental wellbeing. 

Mental health crises are increasing, with waiting lists for vital support stretching endlessly. Schools are buckling under pressure, leaving young people vulnerable. The threat of online exploitation lurks behind every screen, while self-image, peer pressure, relentless academic demands and more pile on daily.

It's a lot

Being a teenager is a lot. Supporting them shouldn't be.

At Spurgeons, we recognise that there is a lot to navigate. But we believe that the first line of defence is strong, supported parents and carers. When families have the tools and guidance they need, teenagers stand a chance against the overwhelming pressures.

We are proud to support families through the complex challenges facing teenagers today. Whether it’s free resources via our Digital Family Hub, personalised sessions with our Family Support Team or counselling, we ensure that families have the tools, guidance, and support they need.

We’re here for every family, every step of the way.
