Family Relationships

Every single family is different and no matter who is in your family, things can be tough at times.  

Family can be there for you and be a big support for your mental health. But things between you and your family might not always be easy and this can lead to arguments.  

Whatever is happening at home, there are people to help you. You’re not alone. 

If you're worried that people in your home are hurting each other, it's important that you talk to a trusted adult. There are laws to protect people from this. It is called domestic abuse. 

Things to remember about families: 

  1. Every family is different. 
  2. It's normal to not get on with your family sometimes.
  3. Family changes can be stressful but there are always ways to cope
  4. It can help to talk about how you're feeling.
  5. If you're ever worried or feel unsafe, you can talk to a Teen Health officer.
