Care for Parents and Families

Useful tips for caring well for your student:

• Knowing what care looks like to your student

  - Ask them what type of care they thrive in and then support them in activating that care

• Acknowledging the dynamics of your student's family/social groups

  - This will help provide context to reported interactions, experiences and expectations

• Setting healthy boundaries and clear expectations

  - Supporting your student through the ups and downs that are a natural part of their development can be done through setting boundaries, having clear expectations and encouraging activation and use of resources

• Communication is key when sharing concerns, ideas, and suggestions with your adult student.

  - Encourage them to make decisions they will have to live with
