About the Programme

When we think of grandkids, what image comes to mind? Perhaps a baby or toddler. Most of us think of grandparents as playing an important role in the early childhood years of their grandkids. However, with longer lifespans, the bond between grandparents and grandkids will continue well into their pre-teen and teenage years. 

As a grandparent, you will play an integral role as part of the adult support in a teenager’s life. Join this talk to understand how teenagers think as well as the issues they face so that you are better positioned to help them flourish through their teenage years.

The speaker, psychologist Nicholas Gabriel Lim, will also address specific questions or concerns you face in interacting with or helping the teenagers you know.

This talk is intended for grandparents or seniors above 50 - but interested parents or adults are also welcome to attend!

About the Speaker

Nicholas Gabriel Lim is currently the Head of Programme for Youth Work at the Singapore University of Social Sciences. He has been an adolescent psychologist for the past eighteen years. His mental health practice is informed by neuroscience, complemented by developmental, behavioural and positive youth development theories. He wrote the book, Clash of the Mind and Heart: Parents' Playbook for Helping Youths Succeed, not just for parents, but grandparents and all adults who want the best for the adolescents they know.

Nicholas' career as a mental health and youth work practitioner spans across the people, public and private sectors. He co-founded the Youth Work Association (Singapore) and was amongst the first few practitioners recognised in Singapore as an expert and a veteran in youth work. For his experiences and expertise, Nicholas was recommended by the National Youth Council to serve on advisory councils to advise the government appropriate policy responses to the evolving world of media, technology, and consumer participation impacting youths; as well as social concerns involving youths related to problems arising from gambling.

He was recently appointed by the President of Singapore to be one of the Youth Court Panel of Advisers.
