Normalize It Forward: Daily Summaries Delivered

The transition to college and the college years are a challenging phase for a young adult. Besides jumping into a higher level of education and the bigger responsibilities that come with it, they also live away from home, face numerous adjustments, and connect with brand-new faces. It often leads to various mental health issues, and sadly, this age bracket usually lacks access to proper care and support in this area. The stigma around it is ripe and almost unbreakable. This podcast aims to remove this major roadblock on the path toward the growth for these promising young people.
