The Centre Spott of the Diputació de Barcelona has released new informational materials for families to address mental health and addictions in adolescence, coinciding with Mental Health Week.

Adolescence is a key stage for emotional development, and family support is crucial for preventing risky behaviors. The Centre Spott provides families with tools to identify potential warning signs, improve communication with their children, and know how to act in concerning situations.
The thematic materials cover two main aspects: substance use, offering guidance to understand and prevent associated risks during adolescence, and problematic screen use, with guidelines to identify potential risky usage and establish healthy digital habits.
Prevention is based on listening, dialogue, and trust. For any concerns, seeking professional guidance is important. Families can consult the materials and find tools to support adolescents via the Centre Spott website.
