As you start college, it can be important to check-in regularly with your support systems, family, etc. These conversations provide you with a chance to talk about how you are doing at college, get updates from home, and connect you back to some familiarity as you navigate the highs and lows that naturally come with the transition to a new space /environment, like college. We recommend planning / scheduling day(s) and time(s) to check in each week with family and support systems, using some form of video call (facetime, Zoom, etc.). It’s a great way to work through the transition into a new environment while still leaning on support systems and people. As the semester and year goes on, you may find yourself not needing to check in as often as you get more comfortable in your new environment.
