Alicia is founder of Teen Tips and is running some Online Talks for parents and teens in the coming weeks to help everyone during this very challenging time. You can find details here.
Alicia works with over a hundred schools delivering talks and workshops to help parents, staff and pupils deepen their understanding of adolescence and promote emotional health and wellbeing.
