Being a teenager has never been straightforward but in the 21st century it is probably more challenging than ever before.
Yes, there are the pressures that have always been there – friendship groups, exams, family battles and so on. But throw some more contemporary flames onto that fire – on-line bullying, negative body imaging, exposure to unhealthy social media – and you appreciate the potential impact to health and wellbeing for young people trying to negotiate that hazardous path from childhood to adulthood.
Which is why it is important, critical even, that teenagers have someone to talk to, someone to confide in, someone from outside of their immediate social and family circle to share things with.
Someone trained to listen.
And it’s why Castleman Healthcare are so proud of the impact their two teenage counsellors have had in helping address the needs of so many teenagers across Poole North and East Dorset.
