Most college prep focuses on academics. This guide focuses on everything else. The Health & Wellness Triangle Preparation Playbook walks through all three dimensions of college independence — Mental, Physical, and Social Wellness — with five concrete preparation strategies per dimension, the executive function skills that make each one possible, and a full checklist for each side of the triangle. This is the college prep conversation most families never have.
What's inside:
→ What's Actually Changing — the honest explanation of what disappears when high school ends
→ 5 Mental Wellness Habits — stress protocols, campus resources, emotional awareness, intrinsic motivation, mental health anchors
→ 5 Physical Wellness Habits — sleep routines, nutrition, exercise, medication management, personal warning signs
→ 5 Social Wellness Habits — initiation, presence, community, family balance, solitude vs. isolation
→ The Sleep-Learning Connection — why sleep is a study strategy, not a health rule
→ Full preparation checklists for all three dimensions
→ The EF Linchpin — which executive function skill sits behind every strategy in this guide
Who this is for: Rising high school seniors and incoming college students who want to prepare before the transition, not recover after it. Pairs well with the Self-Assessment Kit as a natural next step.
