After high school, post-secondary education for our youth can be exciting but also stressful if they have struggled with their mental health. You’re not alone. Discover some ways we can prepare our youth for school and support their mental health and independence while they are at school.

Learn from Dawn Schell from the University of Victoria, Melissa Feddersen from the University of British Columbia (Okanagan) and Victoria Keddis, a parent with lived experience.

Join us to watch a video presentation together and stay for a facilitated conversation by our Family Peer Support Workers.

There are sessions available for multiple dates for the Mental Health and Preparing for the Transition to Post Secondary Connect + Learn:

June 11, 2025 | 6:30pm-8:00pm PDT (BC) | 7:30pm-9:00pm MDT (Alberta)
June 17, 2025 | 6:30pm-8:00pm PDT (BC) | 7:30pm-9:00pm MDT (Alberta)

These events are funded for parents and caregivers living in the Province of British Columbia and for CASA families in Alberta. If you are from another province or territory, or live outside of Canada, we welcome you to visit our video library at www.familysmart.ca/videos and use our resources. Thank you.
