Getting Real About Mental Health In College
We spend a lot of time as parents helping our kids get to college. But do we spend enough time making sure they’re ready to BE there? How do we know if they’re socially and emotionally ready for independence, as well as the social, emotional and academic pressures? What if they’re currently receiving psychological care or need it after they arrive at school? What are the essential life skills they should have under their belt before they get to campus? How can we as parents prepare to handle this transition? Our experts will cover all this, plus the must-have legal and medical forms you should fill out before they leave home.
