Your Freshman Is Off to College! Now What?

That mix of pride and panic? Totally normal. Your child just stepped onto campus for the first time, and you're wondering if you prepared them for what's coming next. You're not alone in this. Join us for a game-changing webinar based on "Your Freshman Is Off to College: A Month-by-Month Guide to the First Year." We'll explore the six key areas of adjustment first-year students face—and how families can support their success from a healthy distance without becoming that parent who calls the professor. You'll discover:

How to strike the right balance between staying connected and giving space
Why the college transition is truly a family transition
The challenges that often face students in their first months
How to support your student's adjustment while maintaining healthy boundaries

Walk away feeling prepared, not apprehensive—equipped, not anxious. Whether this is your first time navigating the family transition or you need a refresh, you'll get the insider knowledge that transforms worried parents into confident champions.
