IMAGE The Motherload presents: The Teen Toolkit, Parenting with Purpose

Join us for our next IMAGE Motherload event, where we’ll give you the tools to prepare yourself – and your teen – for the years ahead.

Teenage years don’t have to be terrible. In fact, they can be transformative… for our children, and for us as parents. But navigating them requires empathy, resilience, and the right support. That’s where we come in.

Join us for a special IMAGE Motherload event where we focus on the teenage years: how to prepare yourself as a parent, how to support your teen’s dreams, how to hold boundaries with love, and how to spot the signs when things aren’t quite right. From social media and screen time to mental health and identity, we’ll explore the real challenges – and the real joys – of raising teens today.

Hosted by IMAGE Media’s Editorial Director and host of IMAGE The Motherload Dominique McMullan, this conversation brings together an incredible panel of voices, including child and adolescent psychotherapist Dr Colman Noctor, founder of The Shona Project and teen advocate Tammy Darcy, and designer and artist Helen Steele, a mother who has navigated these years with creativity and courage.

We passionately want to redefine what it means to be a mum in today’s world and to support the mums doing it. We want to do that by bringing you together to talk. Join us for an evening of conversation and real connection, and leave feeling ready to guide your teen through this next stage of life.
