A safe place to explore the challenges of growing towards adulthood.
Adolescence is a period of transformation and maturation from child to adult. The word ‘adolescence’ comes from the Latin word ‘adolescere’ which means ‘to grow up’. During this time significant developmental changes occur both physically and psychologically. Some of the challenges include decision making, taking on new responsibilities, peer pressure, forming new relationships, developing identity, as well as other changes.
It can be a confusing time!
Holyoake offers young people a safe environment to talk confidentially about any issues that are impacting on their life. For those whose lives have been affected in any way by drugs, alcohol and other substances, Holyoake provides support, information and strategies to develop and continue their emotional and psychological growth.
