Supporting Your College Student’s Mental & Emotional Well-Being
🎓 Supporting Your College Student’s Mental & Emotional Well-Being
College is one of the most transformative experiences in a young adult’s life, but it also comes with overwhelming challenges. Academic pressures, social transitions, financial stress, and living away from home for the first time can take a serious toll on their mental and emotional health.
🔹 Did You Know?
- ✅ Over 60% of college students report experiencing overwhelming anxiety.
- ✅ 1 in 3 college students struggle with depression.
- ✅ Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college-aged students.
As a parent, you want to support your child, but as they gain independence, it can feel harder to stay connected and ensure they have the emotional skills they need to succeed.
💡 Prepare U Pro gives your college student a proven, expert-backed framework to build emotional intelligence, reduce stress, and navigate life’s challenges—while strengthening your relationship with them.

I saw the life-saving benefit of Prepare U within our community. Many of the school districts and communities had suffered from multiple student and teacher suicides prior to being introduced to Prepare U. Their communities were devastated! Once Prepare-U was implemented within these communities, ZERO student suicides occurred and that fact remains to this day!

Offering Prepare U to my students was the most meaningful thing I have done in my over 25-year career in education.
