College Frenzy: How to Manage and Minimize the Stress

Presentation and discussion for students and parents led by Susan Bauerfeld, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Parent Coach and Victoria Hirsch, College Consultant

The College Process has come to be viewed as “THE BIG EVENT” in the lives of students and their families. The pressure associated with THE BIG EVENT often creates a lot of negative fallout, such as ruptured relationships and high levels of stress and anxiety. In this presentation, parent coach and clinical psychologist Susan Bauerfeld, PhD and college consultant Victoria Hirsch will offer tips, strategies and suggestions for viewing the college process as a natural next step rather than THE BIG EVENT and for managing the process in ways that foster resilience and relationships rather than discord and despair.

This presentation is aimed at students and parents of students who are preparing for and/or actively applying to college. If you (or your child) are not yet in high school we suggest you relax and think about other things this year. That being said, all students, parents and other interested parties are welcome to attend.

Admission is free; online registration is recommended. Please email Genevieve Eason with questions.
