Are we really equipped to help our teens navigate their emotions, or are we just scratching the surface with internet-delivered therapy? A recent study reveals that while an online program shows promise in supporting parents of adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), it raises more questions than answers.

As a parent, I often wonder if I’m doing enough, or if I’m just following the latest trend without truly understanding my teen’s needs. What do you think? Are online therapies the future, or just a quick fix that might miss the heart of the issue?
