When Anne Drescher was in her second year of Doctoral studies at the University of North Carolina School of Psychology, she developed and taught a course on Mental Health and Wellness for UNC undergraduates. It was so successful that the course continues to this day and hopefully will be expanded to all freshmen at the university.

Today, Anne believes students are often stressed, overwhelmed, socially isolated and many times unprepared for the new experience of college. This is the beginning of a new school year and thus what better time than now to talk about the challenges many of our young people are facing, too often alone.

Hear Anne talk about the struggles of going to college, the role of parents in helping their kids adjust to a new life away from home and how to make this four-year experience be one of the best times of their lives.
