Challenges & Solutions

As your child transitions to college life, their overall wellness is crucial for academic and social success. This comprehensive workshop equips parents with proactive strategies to support their college freshman’s mental health and well-being.

Recognizing that the first year can be filled with new stresses and challenges, we’ll discuss concrete ways to guide your young adult toward healthy habits. Learn how to communicate effectively about the importance of self-care, including balanced eating, sleeping, and exercise routines. Gain insights on managing stress, whether it stems from academic pressures, social dynamics, or the adjustment to independent living.

Importantly, we’ll cover how to set up the necessary support systems before problems arise. Discover how to research and facilitate counseling, coaching, or executive functioning assistance tailored to your college student’s needs. If your child had an IEP or 504 plan in high school, we’ll address how to properly transfer those accommodations. Help your child establish clear communication with professors and campus resources, such as writing centers and tutors, to optimize your student’s chance of thriving.

By adopting a proactive, wellness-focused mindset, you can help your college freshman build the skills to stay in school, excel academically, find their social circle, and become happier during their time on campus. This workshop will empower you to guide your young adult toward developing the habits and support systems that nurture mental and physical well-being. Promoting your college freshman’s mental health and overall wellness will position your student for success, both in and out of the classroom, throughout their first year and beyond.

Challenges & Solutions

For many first-year college students, the dramatic number of new experiences coupled with poor self-care can result in heightened emotional stress and increased mental health challenges. This workshop will empower you with tools to support your college freshman after drop-off. Seasoned experts, who have worked with college freshmen across the country for years, will share insights into the common obstacles and experiences of new college students, from managing academic demands to navigating social dynamics. Gain practical strategies to help your college student develop the skills and habits needed to thrive, both in and out of the classroom.

We’ll cover techniques for communicating effectively with your college freshman, setting appropriate boundaries, and fostering independence. Discover how to provide the right balance of support and space as they adapt to campus life. Identify healthy ways to encourage self-care, stress management, and help-seeking behaviors.

We recognize that the emotional journey for parents doesn’t end when you wave goodbye and leave your child at college. In fact, the transition can be just as challenging for parents as it is for first-year students. This workshop will also help you unpack common emotional experiences of parents, from feelings of loss and worry to the desire to stay involved. Gain strategies to manage these complex emotions with self-compassion.

As your teenager becomes a young adult and enters college, your role may be changing, but your importance has not diminished. While this is a time to allow your child to develop greater independence, you can still help to support their emotional wellbeing. In this class, you will learn when to lean in and when to step back. Leave this workshop with the tools to support your college freshman after drop-off and continue to care for yourself.

504’s and IEPs – What’s the Difference and How Can They Help My Child? (2025)

July 26, 2023 8:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Andrea Brinnel Andrea Brinnel,Ed.D.

Challenges & Solutions

Are you concerned about your child’s progress in school but afraid to have your child “labeled”? Are you new to the process and feel confused about how special education works? Is your child already receiving special education services, but you’re still feeling confused? 

You are not alone. The world of Special Education is important to our children, but can be quite mysterious to parents.

This class will help you understand the laws behind your child’s rights. You will learn about what to expect from two different kinds of services for children with disabilities: 504 Plans and Individual Education Programs (IEPs).The difference between the two is confusing to many parents. It’s important, however, to recognize the difference so you can be an effective part of your child’s planning team and so you can evaluate whether your school is effectively meeting your child’s needs.

School Refusal: What’s Important to Know and What Can I Do? (2025)

Challenges & Solutions

While school refusal is often viewed as misbehavior, in most cases students are simply too anxious to enter the school environment. This class will help you define the problem and apply strategies to work with your child and the school in ways that encourage compassion and confidence.

School refusal, also known as school avoidance, is a misunderstood and complex challenge. While school refusal is often viewed as misbehavior, in most cases students are simply too anxious to enter the school environment. In some cases, students have trouble leaving their homes at all. Children with school refusal behaviors often may complain of physical symptoms such as headaches or stomach aches before school, or repeatedly ask to visit the school nurse.

Challenges & Solutions

Children benefit a lot when you help them bridge their two most important worlds. When students’ parents are involved in school, kids tend to have higher grades and test scores, better attendance and higher rates of completing their homework. They even have better social skills and are more likely to graduate. We all want those outcomes for our children, but it’s not always easy to establish a productive relationship with your child’s school. This workshop will help you identify strategies to initiate and maintain that important partnership with your child’s school.
