Share your voice. Help us support parents, teens, and the professionals who walk alongside them.

Salvus parenTEENg is a growing online community and resource hub for parents of teenagers—and for the professionals, carers, and teens who support and shape those family relationships.

Hosted on Mighty Networks, this space was created by psychotherapist Tatjana Simakova to offer something different: a safe and supportive place to explore the real challenges of parenting teens, free from judgement or overwhelm. It’s where lived experience meets professional insight, where honest stories and practical tools help families feel less alone.

But this is not a one-person project. It’s a collaborative space. That’s where you come in.

We’re building a living, breathing library of support—co-created by professionals, parents, and teens themselves. If you have experience, knowledge, or a message to share, we’d love to hear from you.

Salvus parenTEENg is:

• A private community space for parents to connect, learn, and grow
• A place to explore family dynamics, teen development, communication, boundaries, conflict, mental health, and more
• A growing collection of articles, workshops, courses, real-life stories, and expert insights
• Rooted in trauma-informed, compassionate, and practical approaches
• A space where collaborators can share without pressure and make a difference in real lives

• Mental health professionals, therapists, educators, coaches, and youth workers
• Parents or foster carers with personal stories, insights, or tools to share
• Teenagers and young adults with lived experience and a voice to be heard
• Writers, creatives, or facilitators who are passionate about family connection and emotional wellbeing

You can:

• Share your story, article, or video in the community
• Offer a live workshop, talk, or Q&A session
• Co-create a short course or downloadable resource
• Collaborate on a panel or discussion around a key topic
• Help us grow the resource library with tools and ideas that work in real homes

Whether you’re looking to contribute once or become a regular voice, there’s space for you here. We value realness, diversity of experience, and a shared commitment to supporting families.
