Parent-Teen Relationships in the Context of Migration

On February 5, 2023, VONA Foundation hosted a free online seminar for teens and parents on a topic that continues to resonate deeply within immigrant families:“Parent-Teen Relationships in the Context of Migration.”

Navigating family dynamics is always complex — but for families starting over in a new country, the challenges can become even more intense. Parents face new pressures, cultural shifts, and emotional stress, while teens struggle with their own adaptation and identity.

This webinar brought together participants from across Canada to explore:

• how migration impacts the parent-teen connection

• why open communication is more important than ever

• what both generations need to feel heard and supported
