After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Describe the important roles parents play in college student health and development.
  2. Describe the connections between different kinds of parenting behaviors and college student health.
  3. Discuss how to communicate effectively with parents about how to promote college student resilience.

Program Abstract:
Parents can influence their grown child’s decision-making in many positive ways, and can facilitate help-seeking when needed. At the same time, it is important to allow college students to develop autonomy and resilience. This presentation will focus on building constructive relationships with parents of college students and encourage them to develop communication patterns with their grown children to support their health and well-being.
