Where
Sentier Psychotherapy
670 Cleveland Ave. S.
St. Paul, MN 55116
Located in the Highland Park neighborhood above Highgrove Dental, next to CorePower Yoga, and across the street from Cecil’s Deli.
Why
When children leave home for college, parents also go through big changes, and it is valuable to spend dedicated time with other people who get it. This group aims to provide peer support around the transitions in the household and in parents’ own shifting identities. Transition Year for Parents will also utilize research-based resources to address how to maintain appropriate boundaries with college students in support of their own mental health during this big first year.
