Teen Between

Thinking of Those Who Might be Forgotten
When a relationship breaks up, it’s not just the couple who have to cope with the emotional upheaval. The children too can suffer – anger, shock, confusion, disbelief and a sense of uncertainty and even a strong feeling of guilt that it was partly their fault.

Teen Between is a specialised service designed to help teenagers to cope their their parent’s separation or divorce. Teen Between can also help young adults who have experienced their parent’s separation during their teenage years.
 
Taking the First Step
This is usually taken by someone who feels that a young person they know is suffering because of divorce or separation. It could be a parent, a friend, a relative, a youth worker, a teacher – or even the young person themselves who makes contact with the Teen Between worker.If it’s agreed that the Teen Between service could indeed help and if the young person feels that they are ready, then the process can begin. If the teenager feels that they are not ready at this stage, then it is best not to continue, but at least they now know that we are here for them when they are ready.
