## Resource

Hello families and supporters! Welcome back to the Spartan Orientation Station’s Family Fridays series, brought to you by the NSO Family and Supporter Committee. This monthly summer series shares guidance, insights, and resources to help families and supporters navigate the transition to college alongside their student. In this episode, we explore the emotional and practical adjustments that both students and families/supporters often experience as college begins. Joined by Dr. Olivia Scott from MSU’s Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS), we discuss common challenges, how to recognize signs a student might be struggling, and the range of support resources available on campus, including CAPS, peer networks, and Spartan Family Connections. Whether you're preparing for a long-distance transition or simply adjusting to a new dynamic at home, this episode offers helpful tips, reflection, and reassurance for the journey ahead.
