Description

Covid-19 is having an unprecedented impact on our everyday life. Among this, are the never before seen challenges that parents and children who are college bound are facing. In addition to the intense social pressure to go to “the best” college, now parents and children are facing additional uncertainties related to high school academics and the college admission process. Prior to these additional stressors, college-bound students were already facing alarming rates of anxiety, depression and other mental health issues even before enrolling in college. What are parents to do? How can they create an environment to support their child? How can they identify and begin to address their child’s mental health needs during this time and before they leave for college? Dr. Craig Springer, from Good Life Center for Mental Health, will present on how to help both parents and students understand the importance of becoming college-ready from both academic and mental health lenses. This presentation will be held via Zoom. Registration available for 100 participants. Upon registration, a Zoom link will be sent to you.
