Just for the Health Of It
Congratulations on completing the first Module of the
Prepare for Independence course!
Welcome to Module 2: Just for the Health of It.
As our students go off to college we worry about their health and wellness. Will they know what to do in an emergency? Will they be responsible about their medications or their health? This module will focus on the importance of physical, mental and emotional health, as they start this new independent phase of growing up. Outlined throughout this module are wellness tips to be discussed with your son or daughter.
Comprehensive Health Concerns.
- Homesickness vs. Depression. When in doubt, ask the experts. Also, if you and your student can talk about this early on, it will give him/her the insight to know when it has become a problem. He or she needs to know where to go and how to ask for help.
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD)/Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). What can be done to help your child make a smooth transition?
- Prescription Drugs. Being responsible for your prescription medications and learning the dangers of taking someone else's.
- Safety issues. Be aware of your surroundings when you are walking on campus. How do you contact campus security?
