The transition from adolescence to adulthood is a time of change, and young people face new challenges, such as managing their money independently. Some find it difficult to save, while others find it easy, but it's important to support and guide them. It's also a time of decision-making, and we can support them in these decisions: what higher education they will pursue or what job they want to do. We can help them explore their options, identify what motivates them, and what they would like to do, and help them prepare their resumes, considering which aspects are important and which are not.

Another important aspect of this period is friendships . It's a time of change, of meeting new people and forming new friendships. It involves stepping outside of familiar surroundings and putting social skills to the test. And then there are romantic relationships , with all that they entail. A general guideline that can be helpful during this phase is to stop and think about the consequences of your decisions before acting.
