Some adults need significant support from their parents, however no strategy or policy in Scotland specifically addresses the needs of parents of adults.

The image reads ‘Parenting with adults, briefing paper, January 2025’. In the bottom right corner is a miniature picture of the briefing report, and the Parenting across Scotland logo on the bottom left of the image.

Let's talk about hobbies!

Hobbies and activities are lots of fun & can make a big difference to young people's wellbeing and life skills...but they can also be pricey and hard to access.

Share our survey with young people to help improve hobbies in Scotland 👇

We are now having time for a Q&A!

Discussions include why perimenopause and puberty aren’t usually spoken about together, and how this conversation should start in the school environment
