For Schools & Other Professionals

Whether you are working in a school, a college coach, a neuropsychologist, or in a related field,  we understand your commitment to wanting your students to succeed.

What does our program look like for schools?

Our school-based workshops focus on providing graduating seniors with the tools to be equipped to face the challenges often encountered in the first year of college. Interactive activities such as online polls, role plays, and self-assessments are used to elicit group discussions.

Building upon the research that suggests that learning and motivation are enhanced by practicing new skills and teaching them to others, our workshops are geared to offer students that opportunity.

​

We ask seniors to take pictures and screenshots of the strategies they have learned so that they can quite literally take this information to college with them. Students have described our workshops as “relevant,” “useful,” and “fun,” and 95% of our student participants would recommend us to a friend.

We tailor our curriculum to meet your school's particular needs and can collaborate with you to learn more about what would be most beneficial for your student population. We are also able to offer school-based workshops for parents, which draw from our existing parent curriculum and can also be customized to cover specific topics of interest.

 

Schools and parents alike have found that having additional programming focused on social-emotional preparedness has enhanced existing school-based college programming, launching their seniors with a stronger foundation for success in the first year.

  • Common first-year concerns and experiences

  • What is the science behind jump-starting my social life?

  • Am I an Introvert, Extrovert, or Ambivert, or am I socially anxious?

  • Conflict: how do I approach it, and how do I manage it effectively?

  • Managing relationships with friends and family from afar

  • The importance of values alignment

  • What is stress and what is a stress reset?

  • Habits and work/life balance

We adapt our existing student and parent curriculum to meet the needs of a larger group setting

  • Independence: the responsibilities of freedom and wise decision making

  • Time management and perfectionism: common academic stumbling blocks/slippery slopes

  • What if I have mental health challenges?

  • Adulting? What is it and how do I get better at it?
