We often hear from parents that when students leave home for college, they have difficulty communicating with them and don’t always know how the transition is going. In extreme cases, some have reported that legally, parents are no longer able to access important medical or financial information, and cannot provide help to students in need. In this panel, we have invited three experts in the field - Clarena McBeth, mental health counselor and family therapist, Kristen Jacks, financial planner and educator, and Alessandra Long, attorney and advocate - to discuss how parents can help high school students gain the necessary life skills to be independent adults who can advocate for themselves.
This panel will address:
Important social emotional skills
Financial management skills
Health care proxy and other legal instruments that give parents access to critical information about their adult children
This is a must for parents of junior and seniors getting ready to head off to college, but also an important primer for parents of freshman and sophomores that want to build important habits and skills early on.
