Help make the transition to college easier with two helpful recordings.

Having a child head off to college can be an emotional time for everyone in the family. LifeWorks® offers two recordings that can help you handle the practical and emotional

aspects of this important transition.

The On Your Own CD is a 60-minute recording featuring college freshmen talking about the ups and downs of their first year of college-dorm life, roommates, studying, homesickness, and the lessons they learned being on their own. Send your child off to college with this helpful CD.

For parents and other family members, LifeWorks offers the Letting Go CD. This one-hour recording features the authors of the well-known book Letting Go: A Parents' Guide to Understanding the College Years, as they talk about what to expect as your child prepares for and leaves for college.
