When Dr. Hibbs's son Jensen left for college, his parents had every reason to believe he was prepared. Unfortunately, Jensen became severely depressed and withdrew from school on medical leave. His crisis and recovery taught Dr. Hibbs many important lessons about the specific challenges faced by families and young people with special needs. In this talk, Drs. Hibbs and Rostain discuss the journey through the education system and the launch to young adulthood through the lens of learning disabilities, mental health problems, and neuro-atypical development.
Parents today wonder, "What's going on?" as they absorb the daily reports of campus hazards and skyrocketing rates of college mental health problems. Educational leaders ask, "Why is this generation more stressed?" and debate how best to balance the traditional emphasis on academic excellence with the value of non-cognitive, resilience-building instruction. This illuminating talk tackles the campus mental health crisis, promoting key conversations and helping parents and administrators distinguish normal adolescent and young adult behavior from the warning signs that flash: Danger Ahead.
Childhood is evaporating into a life filled with over-scheduled activities and screen time, and adolescence has become a high-stakes, time-starved pressure cooker of stress, fear, and perfectionism for kids. Many parents experience anxious over-involvement, wondering, "Will my child be OK?" and "Will they be ready for the challenges ahead?" Based on The Stressed Years of Their Lives, this talk helps parents and educators ready their students for a successful launch to college and early young adulthood by reviewing the unique stressors of this age and revealing the keys to health promotion and harm reduction.
