community. Look Around Boone is a public awareness campaign aiming to reduce that stigma.
FACE and Look Around Boone partners want to showcase your powerful artwork throughout
the County. Help us raise awareness about mental health creating powerful creative
materials! We are seeking students who are passionate about the goals of
Look Around to join and grow the movement, lead the conversation, and steer
change based on their experiences.

PARENTS AND STUDENTS - How to Raise an Adult
One Read:
The Rock Bridge Counseling Office is excited to host our first One Read Book Discussion onthe book How to Raise an Adult by Julie Lythcott-Haims. In How to Raise an Adult, Julie Lythcott-Haims draws on research, on conversations with admissions officers, educators, and employers, and on her own insights as a mother and as a student dean to highlight the ways in which overparenting harms children, their stressed-out parents, and society at large. While empathizing with the parental hopes and, especially, fears that lead to overhelping, Lythcott-Haims offers practical alternative strategies that underline the importance of allowing children to make their own mistakes and develop the resilience, resourcefulness, and inner determination necessary for success. Relevant to parents of toddlers as well as of twentysomethings--and of special value to parents of teens--this book is a rallying cry for those who wish to ensure that the next generation can take charge of their own lives with competence and confidence.
We would like to invite all Rock Bridge parents, faculty, and students to read How to Raise an Adult with us this semester and attend the book discussion on
Thursday, December 6, 2018 from 6:00 - 7:30 PM in the Rock Bridge cafeteria.
Copies of the book are available for checkout in multiple formats at the Daniel Boone Regional Library and available for purchase on
Amazon, or at
Barnes and Noble.
