Many young people graduate high school without proper preparation for the potential emotional health challenges of transitioning to college and adult life. In fact, 60 percent of first-year college students wish they had received more help with emotional preparation for the transition to college, and 87 percent stated that the college preparation process focused more on academics than emotional readiness. The Jed Foundation (JED) developed a comprehensive program—Set to Go—to help students, families, and high schools address this gap. This presentation will walk participants through the underlying theory and approach of this program and describe contents and resources to help students successfully transition to college and adult life.
