Coaching

College presents multiple challenges as students transition into adulthood.  These include:

• Managing expectations
• Budget
• Socialization
• Work
• Study habits
• Drug/alcohol use
• Relationships
• Sexuality
• Motivation
• Health/wellness
• Diet and nutrition
• Sports
• Sharing space
• Greek life
• Time management
• ADLs
• Making safe friends
• Academic etiquette
• Body image
• Managing bad things (overdose, rape/unwanted sex, accidents, arrests, dui)
• Roommate negotiation
• Emotional turmoil of young adulthood
• Transportation
• Separation from family and home

Students with mental illness and substance use disorders are particularly challenged in these areas as a result of stress vulnerability, cognitive deficits, and emotional dysregulation.
