The positive passage into adulthood requires change for both the young person and their parents. This is why the parents of Life Designs’ students are actively involved in the progression of their launching adult and their own mid-life transition. The role of the parent is:
- Be a vital part of the transition team.
- Practice being a “consultant” rather than “manager” to their young person.
- Be a powerful example of how to do life changes.
- Read and do expansion assignments from the Life Designs Parent E-letter
- Bimonthly staff/parent updates and strategies
- Staff, parent, adult child conference calls
- Complete the “Empowering and Launching Young Adults” Parent Workshop
- 3 to 7 day Rite of Passage
- Additional commitments if an intervention is necessary
Parents play a vitally important part in empowering young adults into self-reliant independence. This three day training equips parents with the understanding and tools to become positive mentors through this life transition.
Participants learn how to authenticate, empower, launch and reconnect with their adult children. The transformative skills experienced in this workshop will help parents to breathe easier and enrich their lives while providing what their adult children need to succeed.
The training does not end with the workshop.
Graduates receive a workbook to reinforce the skills and can participate in
a weekly teleconference support call.
The Parent Workshop is facilitated by Randy and Colleen Russell, the founders of Life Designs. They bring a wealth of experience and training in life transitions, launching young adults, women’s journeys, and indigenous wisdom. They come with over 40 years of experience and Master’s training in Transpersonal Psychology, Education, Youth Ministry and Recreation.
These workshops are open to the general public, including educators, educational consultants, coaches and therapists. For additional information on this workshop, coaching and other services go to: www.empoweringyoungadults.com Testimonials available by request.
