Free Workshop for Students

Freaking out about starting college this fall?

Overwhelmed by the anticipation of new pressures and responsibilities?

Academic obligations, the weight of big decisions and navigating unfamiliar social landscapes can all bring their own challenges that can threaten your performance, relationships and future opportunities!

You’re facing some big decisions about how to begin the next stage of your life.

You will be balancing demanding coursework, part-time jobs and extracurricular activities while feeling the pull to experiment, explore and celebrate being on your own away from home.

If you fail to plan for these challenges, you may find yourself facing mental or physical health problems, giving into negative influences, broken trust, burnout, stress, academic consequences or worse.

You can take control!

This free workshop will equip you with the tools necessary to thrive in college and beyond.

Turn your struggles into stepping stones and create the kind of college experience you’ll value for life.

You’ll learn from two experts, Cassandra Wind and Sara Deacon, who will guide you through your transition to college life.

Learn:

  • Emotional resilience to navigate the ups and downs, manage stress and conquer challenges

  • Time management techniques to prioritize what matters most and balance all the things

  • Decision making skills to build confidence and make the most of your education so that you can pursue the life and career of your dreams

  • Health and wellness strategies to prevent common physical issues like headaches, insomnia or illness

  • Social skills to build a supportive network and cultivate the kind of relationships that will encourage and empower you to be your best
