Empowering Parents Speaker Panel

VSSA's Parent Education is honored to host a speaker panel featuring Viewpoint alum clinical psychologist Dr. Jessica Lessing O'Leary (03) and Sabrina Schoneberg LCSW ('09). Join us in a conversation about how parents can help best prepare their children in their journey to life beyond Viewpoint.

Learn strategies for your child at every stage in their academic life from primary school to upper school.

• Are there life experiences I can help provide my child to ready them for independence and global readiness?
• What are the needs of college students today and how can I best help my children in their transition to independence early on?
• Am I overscheduling my child? Is there a healthy balance that is sustainable for them when they leave Viewpoint?

She graduated summa cum laude from Tufts University, where she received a bachelor’s degree in Child Development and Sociology.
