Service Description

Starting college is a big step—not just for students, but for parents and guardians too.

My research shows parents don’t fully understand how student support services work in 3rd level. This can make it harder to give the right advice when it’s needed. That’s where Pathways come in. Pathways helps both parents and students navigate this transition with clear, practical guidance on college life and the supports available.

List of Services Available

In-person talks,
online webinars, and
one-to-one family sessions

guiding parents and students on navigating college life.

Wheelchair Access

In-person will accommodate wheelchair access, likely in the persons home. Online also available if this works better for everyone.

Before this website came along, we weren’t sure what services were available locally and how to access them. It’s great to now see them all listed in one place with lots of useful information and contact details.
