Academics, sports, peers, dating, critical tests, college applications, adjusting to living on campus, first job... life becomes overwhelming, and adolescents need direction. It is easy to get off course during this critical time. Ensure they have the support and skills they need to pursue their goals.

Adulting is complex, and the challenges of being a gifted adult aren't always recognized. Work, family, social... finding life balance is exhausting, and responsibility can be overwhelming. Learning to balance, regulate and rejuvenate is essential. Self-growth and support may be the path you need.
