Campus Confident with Dr. V

Parenting a college student can feel surprisingly hard to navigate.

This channel is for  parents of college students who know that staying connected is not the opposite of independence, it’s the foundation for it.

I’m a mental health expert with over 25 years of experience and a fellow college parent. I share practical, evidence-based guidance to help you respond when your student is stressed, stuck, overwhelmed, or shutting down.

You’ll find weekly videos on college student mental health, academic pressure, homesickness, Gen Z stressors, and parent–young adult communication.

If you want a thoughtful, informed way to support your student while independence grows, you’re in the right place.
