Dear Peabody Parents and Families,

You’ve successfully guided this remarkable individual to this point in their life… now what? Well, your student still needs you, albeit in different ways.

As a parent and family member, you are undoubtedly concerned about and invested in your student’s academic and personal success in college (and beyond). You want to continue to have a major role in your student’s life, but you also know that your relationship will change as your student grows and develops. You will play an important role in the life of your college student, and working together, we can support your student’s growth and success. Similar to the roles you play, we strive to strike a similar healthy balance with students by providing resources to help them make informed decisions and promote self-advocacy, while standing ready to step in and provide additional support as necessary.

Remember, you are your student’s biggest champion. The motivation and support you provide is essential. When your student encounters unexpected challenges, your encouragement will help them troubleshoot and persist.

We encourage you to become a knowledgeable resource and partner with Peabody to support your student. When your student reaches out for help, share some resources and services that may be able to help. Review the information provided below and please don’t ever hesitate to reach out if you are concerned about your student.
