13 - 18 Years

Life as a teenager brings its own unique set of challenges, and for those with PWS, it can be a myriad of emotions and confusion. The following links will help all concerned to help your child reach his or her full potential.

The following links are sections from the PWS Journey. Families can obtain a hard copy of the whole PWS Journey, which is updated as their child reaches the next age range, by becoming a member of PWSA UK.

We have also produced a series of eight short animations called 'Growing Up' to explain to young people and adults with PWS about the changes they will experience as they grow up, both physically and emotionally, covering important topics such as puberty, relationships, and advice on interacting with others both in person and online.
You can watch them here.
