This workshop is open to college-bound teens and their families. We will seek to identify unintended stressors self-imposed by students and parents as they go through the entire College Admission Decision Making Process from researching colleges/universities, selecting majors for possible future careers, visiting campuses, making the college list, applying for admission, and the final decision where to matriculate. We will discuss:

• Mental Health Issues of Secondary School and College Students
• Mental Toll on Adolescents Due to Covid-19
• Stress and Anxiety Increasers - Natural Causes
• Stressors and Anxiety Increasers - Self Made
• What to Do - Action Plan - Internal Resources
• External Resources for Students
• A Collaborative Approach
•  Some Thoughts of Wisdom When Making College Admission Decisions
• How Do Colleges/Universities Evaluate Student Applicants for Admission into their Freshmen Class
