Adolescence is a period of upheaval and transformation (the end of childhood, physical change, love affairs, uncertainty towards school, parents and family relationships, etc.) which can lead to moments of great fragility, characterised by moments of crisis of varying intensity.These moments can be exacerbated when young people experience separations or serious personal tensions (family break-ups, difficulties at school, health problems and recently the sanitary pandemic, etc.). In these cases the balance becomes more complex and the risks are even bigger (depression, suicide attempts, addictions…). This round-table will be the opportunity to take time to think about this teenage period and the beginning of adulthood, whether you are a parent or an educator.
