The current landscape for college admissions can feel overwhelming, anxiety-producing and scary. But it doesn’t have to be that way!

Join Brooke Anderson, LCSW, for our January Zoom Connect, “The ABC’s of the College Years.”

• Brooke will bust some current myths, discuss trends, and help you on the way to an informed and healthy plan to approach the college search.
• She will share important factors to look for in colleges and how to ensure a smooth and healthy transition for both student and parent when your child is ready to launch.
• In short, get your notepad ready for a discussion on a healthy and well-balanced approach to the college search and admissions process!
