Middle School Prep | July 20–21

Week 1: July 20–21 (UE, M)

2–4pm | One Mind ~ Broad Ripple

The transition to middle school is an important milestone that brings new expectations, environments, and social dynamics. This program is designed to help students approach this change with confidence, clarity, and a sense of preparedness.

Through guided discussions, interactive activities, and real-life scenarios, students gain a clearer understanding of what middle school may look and feel like—both academically and socially. They learn how to anticipate challenges, manage stress in the moment, and advocate for themselves when they need support.

Participants also build a personalized coping plan, identifying strategies that work best for them across different situations and environments. This process helps increase both self-awareness and independence as they prepare for new responsibilities.

By the end of the program, students leave feeling more prepared, more confident, and equipped with practical tools to navigate middle school with resilience and self-assurance.
