Surviving and Thriving in College: Virtual Workshop with Kimberly Wolf. April 19, 2023. 7:30 – 8:30 pm on Zoom. No cost to attend. Register here.  

The end of high school and beginning of college in a time of major transition in the life of a teen girl. It’s a period filled with new and exciting experiences, as well as obstacles and challenges that can be especially tough to navigate. A solid mental health toolkit is crucial to a successful move toward independence.

JWFA is thrilled to welcome back Kimberly Wolf, author of Talk With Her, for an interactive, online workshop for self-identifying girls who are high school juniors and seniors, as well as first-year college students, focused on how they can get the help they need to survive and thrive during this critical timeframe. Themes covered include key communication strategies, stress management tools and relationship skills geared toward this particular stage of life.
