Host Ben Adair is joined by Owen Muir M.D., Michelle Bernabe RN, and Dr. Will Osei from Brooklyn Minds to hear from recent college and high school graduates about the difficulties of transitioning into a new beginning. The tips for this week?  Give yourself the space to grieve what you missed or might end up missing.  If you are starting college in the fall, reach out to college councilors at your schools to get a head start on creating a relationship with that support system.  If you had to move back in with your parents, sit down and discuss new boundaries where you can learn to relate to each other differently! (You can read the article Michelle mentioned here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-12/adulthood-interrupted-by-coronavirus ) At the top of the show we listed some great Black Trans orgs.
