Orientation prepares students. But who prepares their parents?
The first six weeks of post-secondary are a huge transition, not just for students, but for the families who love them.
First Year, For Real is a live conversation for parents, caregivers, grandparents, and supporters navigating this new chapter with their student.
Join Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe, and Natalie Davison for an honest, practical, and research-informed conversation about:
✨ Academic confidence and overwhelm
✨ Homesickness and difficult conversations
✨ Supporting independence without losing connection
✨ Stress, resiliency, belonging, and wellbeing
✨ How families can adjust to this next season together
