College Worries? Yes, College Is Becoming A Higher Cost Gamble
Are you a worried High School Senior, or an even-more-worried Parent of a High School Senior staring down that road of college life, wondering how to actually get over there from here? You're right, it's not about the destination, it's about the trip – and this particular trip can, often does, change a lifetime.
If ADHD is even remotely in the equation – be prepared! This transition is the big one.
Thousands of dollars and the rest of your life on the line? The reasons to worry are simple: Yes, college is harder than High School and creates far more complex decision making challenges. It doesn't matter if you were a winner or a loser in high school, you can seriously waffle in this first year if you don't know the best way to tackle each of the multiple new freshman variables – those unpredictable surprises that can take you out of the game.
We've seen major implosion that first year of college happen way too often – and the good news: with CoreBrain implosion is almost entirely preventable.
At CoreBrain we have two Transition programs – one for managing that first year of College: T2CC, and an earlier one, preparation for seniors in High School: T2CH, which will also start this fall at about the same time.
You already know that college students experience:
- even more pressure and no learning system,
- no easy, consistent mentoring direction,
- even less clear expectations and structure than High School,
- with less personalized academic support – and a
- multitude of peer relationship challenges and seductions – from
- issues with booze, sex, and weed – to name just a few diversions – to
- inadequate study habits with no routine, and often
- the pressure to successfully choose a major that first year – for the rest of your life 😕
- and few self management skills transfer from hanging out in High School
- and few interpersonal skills transfer – such as what to do when your friends bring a keg into the house,
- you must deal with roommates and strangers that are, in truth, strange, who provide impediments – that you must assess and manage to move forward
The Main Problem: No Fun and Interesting System Exists To Help Structure/Manage Your First Year of College Success
At CoreBrain Training we have created A Solution that Works On Every Level of Concern:
- Personalized academic , interpersonal and relationship coaching,
- understanding the adjustment to changes of structure for the rest of your life [private school to college: often catastrophic]
- led by coaches I've personally trained after 43 years of dealing with college student problems
- how-to on: psych meds, street drugs and alcohol, and rock and roll [no dance lessons]
- available every day,
- virtual and 24×7 as well!
- with experienced coaches right there at your desk
- you don't have to freak out to get help
- it's as personalized as a family, perhaps even more so
- helpful with understanding family issues back home
- provides connection with peers internationally,
- “international” does place a fresh perspective on that college, that sorority, that fraternity, group and is
- exponentially more powerful than FaceBook because
- it's truly anonymous, 😉
- encourages constructive peer communication and conflict resolution
- the groups are intimate, small, only 12 max
- structured, with clear objectives, you set the pace and objectives, we help you get there
- encourages personal initiative and personal responsibility, and group accountability
- warns of specific pitfalls to watch for – advanced warning helps from pros who've lived with these problems everyday
- gender specific challenges for men and women
- tools for handling challenges with professors and selecting your best professor teachers and mentors
- no, we don't care if this is your second first year, you will add serious seasoning to flavor the Been-There Stew.

The CoreBrain Learning Grid: You Dreamed About This Years Ago
At CoreBrain we provide an outstanding learning matrix at every level of your professional development and interests. Nurses, pediatricians, coaches, psychiatrists, and family practitioners, students, even the simply curious – indeed anyone interested in mind science and brain function will exponentially grow their clinical expertise here at CoreBrain. “Unique and remarkable” just don’t cover your CoreBrain Training benefits.
Real brain practice is beyond platitudes. Your abiding curiosity added to the latest biomedical insights will absolutely improve your practice strategies.
From Team to Mentorship, we work hard to connect our CoreBrain Team Members anywhere in the world with the most advanced, supportive, ongoing learning and teaching systems. If you go to Mentorship we ultimately want to train you so that you can understand and teach this material wherever you are, and become part of the larger solution so critically needed with brain/mind science applications internationally.
The CoreBrain Training Secret
Not only do you get the most comprehensive brain and body science, but also with that outstanding content we provide the perfect learning process. At CoreBrain your practice evolutions take place every day of the week as long as you are with us. Our learning grid at CoreBrain is more than simply exemplary – it’s both phenomenal and interpersonal.
Phenomenal
CoreBrain Training is based on phenomena: cases, context, real life circumstances that take CoreBrain Training away from intellectual data dumps into common sense practice modules. Label games are out, functional precision is in. We're traveling with reality, neuroscience and experience, not speculation and intellectual posturing.
Scheduled small steps and clear objectives will lead to proficiency with your big picture mastery – a process/systems phenomena that makes small details understandable and relevant – and is more personally supportive than any biomedical training available – anywhere. Yes, it's phenomenal.
Interpersonal – With Anonymity
Attend either as yourself or anonymously, through a virtual state-of-the-art, truly remarkable learning environment that once you see it in action you will wish you had it available in high school, in college, or in any professional school. Hey, I wish I had this system with every training along my way – it cuts out the games and gets down to business. Our CoreBrain Training secret is no secret, and it works far better than BY [by-yourself] and DIY [do-it-yourself] – that CoreBrain secret, that extremely cool everyday app, is interpersonal: team teaching, team learning, and team sharing, combined with regular synchronous and asynchronous coaching. My son in med school formed his own tight learning team, the Med Rats – CoreBrain is Med Rats to the 10th power.
We provide a built-in systematic look-over-your-shoulder process to support your progress, rather than simply pitch out information for you to digest on your own. You can attend as Dr Tom Jones, TJ, JT, or “brainjunkie” – we don’t care what you call yourself, we just want you to feel comfortable showing up for both your personal and your team’s evolution. Team work should start in grade school, – but sometimes it takes a little longer to get it. You might as well take advantage now that it's available, – and get on this program before that first year starts to mushroom.
Team training creates mutual rewards, and deeper, more applicable insights as we build on the collective learning experience with every team. Sharing your own process and clinical progress through brief daily team contact accelerates your learning process. Our team-learning grid makes the CoreBrain Training process easy, fun – indeed inspirational – as you grow with forward-thinking colleagues internationally.
Our training teams aim to keep the dialogue fresh by limiting team size, no more than 12 participants in each group. Attendees can then get to know each other, share information more effectively and synergize their learning efforts. CoreBrain is virtual. It’s anonymous. It’s interpersonal. You can be vulnerable with your “mistakes” and questions, and trusting is simplified.
CoreBrain Resources
Our unique CoreBrain Wikis, like Wikipedia, but personalized, will provide you resource access points for your development and research as long as you stay with CoreBrain. The papers there will be available in downloadable pdf so you can copy and store them as you see fit. We invite you to add your favorite links and papers, to become part of the CoreBrain teaching solution right from the outset at those levels. Teamwork occurs through multiple contributions, including your own. It takes a village – a uniquely informed village, to evolve current superficial practices.
Focused CoreBrain Forums keep the offline discussion alive and well, and provide additional resources for inquiry and detail evolution. Forums will be open on every program and will diversify the input from many perspectives. You ask and comment, you grow the organization and the data.
Hope you can join us for T2CC, and look at the Mentorship program as well if you are evolving in your appreciation of applied neuroscience.
