Is My College Freshman Okay?
A free 45-minute lunch-hour webinar for parents.
What's normal in freshman fall, what's worth a closer look, and how to help your student without hovering.
📅 Monday, November 9, 2026
🕛 12:15–1:00 PM CT
💻 Live on Zoom (made to fit your lunch break)
Free! Join from your phone or computer.
The first fall of college is a lot. New schedule, new people, new freedom, and often a lot less sleep. Some hard weeks are a normal part of figuring it out. Some are a sign your student needs more support. From a few hundred miles away (or across town), it's hard to tell which is which. This webinar gives you a clearer picture and some words you can actually use on your next phone call.

What you'll learn:
Normal adjustment vs. real struggle: what's typical in freshman fall, and the signs that mean it's time to pay closer attention.
What to say (and what to skip): simple scripts for calls and texts that keep your student talking instead of shutting down.
How to help without hovering: ways to stay connected and supportive while your student learns to handle things on their own.
Who to call when: when it's time for campus counseling or a licensed therapist, and when a life coach might fit.
Who it's for:
Parents and guardians of current college freshmen, whether your student is at a school close to home or across the country. If you've hung up the phone lately and thought, "Is my kid okay?", this hour is for you.
Can't make it live?
Register anyway. We'll email the replay to everyone who signs up the same afternoon, so you can watch whenever it works for you.

Kurtis takes the time to deeply understand the issues and can ask really thoughtful questions. Together, we tackled challenges I faced for a long time, and we've not only identified the root causes but also found solutions. I will continue working with him after I leave college..
I strongly recommend!!!
