According to a survey conducted by the American College Health Association (ACHA) in 2020, 63% of college students reported experiencing overwhelming anxiety, and 42% reported feeling so depressed that it was difficult to function. The social and emotional transition from high school to college is a pivotal point in an individual’s life, marking the transition from adolescence to the beginning of adulthood. How students navigate this transition significantly impacts their academic success and overall well-being. The transition to college is often accompanied by significant changes in a student's environment, lifestyle, and social support network, which can be both exciting and overwhelming. Come explore potential issues and challenges your student may face during this critical transition and learn how to best prepare for life in college and beyond.
