Hi there,
I'm writing a story on what's it like to live with a loud voice. Are you someone who gets high-pitched whenever you are excited? Does your family constantly nag you to dial down your voice? Or are you someone who's annoyed by your loved ones' loud talking?

What has happened to my child?
Where can I go for help?
Who will help make sense of all that is going on?
In this unique one-hour presentation, offered by Teenage Toolbox, you will learn what lies underneath your child's behaviour, why self-harming behaviours are survival strategies, and what you can do to help your child through.
In addition, you will discover how to regulate your own emotions and feelings, so you can help your child from a position of empowerment, rather than helplessness or fear.
A twice-published author, and a trauma and suicide survivor, Sue O'Callaghan has worked with hundreds of cutters, self-harmers and teenagers in addiction. In addition, she often sees those whom the services have discharged with little success.
Her revolutionary compassionate approach will teach you skills and strategies to work WITH, not against, your child's maladaptive behaviours, in order to minimise guilt and shame, and empower you to understand what is going on for them.
ABOUT SUE
Not only has Sue lived in boarding schools in the UK, Singapore, and Australia as a resident housemistress, but she has also worked in maximum security prisons, where she learned some of the toughest survival skills that permanently changed lives.
Recognised for her trauma-informed school education programmes, parenting classes, and one-on-one work with children, teenagers, and twenties kids, Sue brings a level of knowledge, wisdom, and compassion to the audience that not only inspires, but is also infectious.
Come ready with questions, and problems, as Sue always loves an open discussion at the end, where real-life situations can be discussed!
This talk is the second in our FOUR-PART Mental Health Parenting Talk Series, equipping parents with powerful tools.
Don't miss out on the rest in the series, continuing past Mental Health Month.
