GUIDING YOUR
GRADE 11/12 KID
COVID EDITION
This has been an unprecedented (translation: hellish) year for our kids. We have watched them suffer the loss of their social support, struggle with the challenges of online learning and felt the increased strains on family relationships. All the while, they are feeling pressure about their futures and/or feeling like it is all pointless and we feel powerless to help them.
Sign up to receive access to a library of 14+ video and associated tools & tips for helping them (and you) survive planning for their future.
