Ep. 126: School Prep Series: College Parents/Caregivers - Are You Ready?

In this episode, we learn potent tips for parents and caregivers as they pass the food allergy baton to their college students from food allergy advocate and parent of rising college senior, Jill Mindlin, JD. Jill discusses how to instill confidence and self-management skills and how to have challenging but essential conversations with your student. Please note: this episode addresses alcohol and parent-student discussions. FAACT does not condone underage drinking but acknowledges the importance of food allergy safety at college.
