Family and Parent Information
Sending a loved one to college brings a new set of challenges to a family member. Your role evolves as they move further into the adult world. This can often be difficult for both of you. For some general strategies to help you deal with this major transition, visit our Ten Tips.
This can also be an ideal time to begin, or continue, conversations about alcohol choices, consent, sexual assault, healthy and unhealthy relationships, and your student's mental health and well-being. Learn more about ways to help them prepare for these types of challenges in our FHSU Family Support Guide.
