Peace at Home

In today’s demanding college environment, supporting your student’s mental health has never been more crucial. According to a 2022 study by the American College Health Association (ACHA), 77% of students reported experiencing moderate to severe psychological distress, with 54% feeling the weight of loneliness.

 

The power of the parent-child relationship as a mental health intervention is immense, yet even the most well-intentioned parents may unknowingly engage in behaviors that hinder rather than help. Navigating this all from a distance, through phone or text only adds to your anxiety and your students.

 

Peace at Home Parenting Solutions provides expert guidance to help you navigate these challenges, offering targeted strategies to recognize and address symptoms and providing solutions that ensure your college student gets the proven support they truly need.
