SUMMARY:Navigating the New Normal (Grade 12's)
DESCRIPTION:Options Solutions has loved being a part of your grade 12 year. We recognize what is traditionally a time for celebration is now a time filled with mixed emotions and uncertainty.With so much unknown\, it is hard for families to make decisions about the future. For our grade 12 students\, there is a certain precariousness about the normal process of selecting a post-secondary institution\, choosing a residence\, and exploring courses for the 20-21 academic year. There is even more stress when we consider that summer jobs/programs/volunteering may all be up in the air. \n  \nAt Options\, we excel at motivating others\, promoting actionable steps\, and mining the good. Join our founder\, Melinda Giampietro\, for an open discussion about the state of post-secondary admission and information about how to help your teen navigate the next few months. We will explore all the possibilities for fall 2020. With her usual optimism and humour\, Melinda will also share practical tips to navigate this non-traditional end to the grade 12 year.There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end. While this discussion is targeted towards grade 12 Options families\, please feel free to pass this link on to all grade 12 families you feel may benefit. \nPlease register here: \nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/500635538384540685 \n  \nComments from our Grade 11 presentation: \n“Melinda put on a terrific session – very informative with good action items\, and being in a bubble\, its nice to know what others are doing out with their grade 11 kids. Thank you for hosting it.” \n“Thank you Melinda for being there for us. Listening to you speak last night was incredibly helpful and reassuring. You armed us with very practical and useful strategies and tips for not just coping\, but on adapting and coming out stronger through a crisis. After we listened to you\, we took our kids through a summary of what you talked about- and discussed what we were doing right\, and what we could do better.”
