Working with teens is Red Cardinal Counselling’s sweet spot!

This phase of constant exploration and intense emotions is fertile ground, where small seeds of confidence, compassion, and courage can grow and bear fruit long into adulthood if given the chance.

With social media and instant access technologies, teens today are navigating in uncharted territory and - to be frank - the waters are not always friendly.  This, in conjunction with the impact of pandemic restrictions, has amplified issues like depression, anxiety, substance and alcohol misuse, bullying, and relationship strain between teens and parents.  

Parents are also finding themselves in over their heads.  Our role is to pass on the lessons we have learned, but the game has changed so much since our own teen years that we can struggle to know what to do ourselves.
