About This Group

Not sure how you are going to manage the workload of college? Or wondering how to balance having a life, school, and a job? Worried that you don’t have enough “life skills” to be on your own? This webinar series is designed to support you in building practical skills to manage the transition to college, or back to college, with more ease.

The core contexts of this course are:

  1. Independence/Interdependence

  2. Self Care

  3. Social Life

  4. Classes/Classwork

In this College Crash Course 102 webinar course, we’ll specifically focus on the real-time application of EF skills within each context.

The goals of this series are:

➢ Support participants in critically reflecting upon their own practices, strengths, and areas for growth as they undertake college courses

➢ Provide participants with an in-depth understanding of executive functioning skills and related brain development knowledge for further strengthening and application

➢ Provide participants with a concrete framework for these skills and implementation in core contexts common to the college experience

➢ Break down these skills and provide clear examples of specific practices that participants may take up in their own lives

➢ Facilitate activities for self-reflection and practicing of particular skills for college success
