Being a teenager can be hard.
Being the parent of a teenager can be hard too.
While all families face challenges during adolescence, families impacted by mobile work, such as FIFO, defence, aviation, and many more, experience an added layer of complexity. The repeated cycle of a parent leaving and returning can disrupt routines, relationships, and emotional connections for both parents and teens.
Together, Apart was created to support teens navigating life when a parent has to work away. This guided journal offers a safe, supportive space for teens to:
Express their thoughts and emotions through structured, age-appropriate prompts
Develop practical skills to identify and communicate their emotional needs
Learn when and how to access additional support if they need it
The journal can be completed independently, alongside a trusted adult, or with the support of a psychologist or counsellor.
Developed by a registered psychologist with lived experience of mobile work family life, Together, Apart aims to minimise psychological distress, strengthen communication, and support emotional wellbeing in adolescents growing up in families where a parent works away.
