For many young adults, taking those first steps toward greater independence—whether through college, employment, or another path after high school—is an important part of discovering who they are, what they’re capable of, and what they need to thrive. Sometimes, those first experiences don’t unfold exactly as planned. But they can provide valuable insight into the skills, support, and environment a young adult needs to move forward with greater confidence and independence.

In this PARENT PERSPECTIVE webinar, you’ll hear from parents whose young adults experienced either college or a job firsthand, only to discover that navigating daily academic or employment responsibilities, social expectations, and life away from home required more support than they initially anticipated.

These parents will share what they learned along the way, what they wish they had known before their young adult launched, and how their families approached the next chapter after that initial experience.

This conversation isn’t about what didn’t work. It’s about learning from experience, recognizing what a young adult needs, and finding a path forward that supports their goals and potential.

Whether your young adult is preparing for college, exploring employment, navigating their first steps into adulthood, or has already experienced some bumps along the way, you’ll gain perspective from families who have been there, and learn how one chapter can become an important step toward a more successful future.
