College Support Communities
A group for college bound freshman and a separate group for their mothers
Student Launch Community
Are you feeling excited, nervous, overwhelmed (and everything in between!) about leaving for college? You are not alone! We created the Student Launch Community for people just like you. Join other college-bound students for an interactive and fun group to support you before you take off for school and during your first semester away. Our group meetings will get you ready to successfully navigate this big life transition and create the college experience you desire. Groups will be facilitated by Psychologist Jodi Abramowitz, PhD

Mom Community
The first semester away from home can bring unexpected challenges and opportunities for freshman – come share your stories and learn how to best support your child during this significant life transition. Empty nest symptoms catching you by surprise? We’ve got you covered! Together we’ll explore YOUR needs and ways to step into YOUR next chapter. This community is 100% dedicated to the moms. Groups will be facilitated by Life Transitions Specialist Ilene Schaffer, MA, APPC. To learn more about Ilene, visit www.IleneSchaffer.com
