An Interview with a Mental Health Counselor on the College Search and Transition

Transitioning to college or beginning the search for a college can pose challenges, particularly for students who have mental health concerns. In the video below, I have a conversation with a mental health counselor to talk about:

🔹 The importance of recognizing that this transition is a significant adjustment and it's okay to find it hard.

🔹 The difference between internal and external motivation and why that matters when you start college.

🔹 The importance of maintaining old connections while building new ones.

🔹 How being proactive about your mental health before leaving for college can help you manage difficult times.

🔹 Her experience in helping a student request and receive accommodations for mental health diagnoses.

🔹 The significance of starting your college search by aligning with your values.

As always, I look forward to your conversations with your students, teens, and young adults. Let's make this journey joyful and transformative for them!
