Ursa Minor is the branch dedicated to parents, guardians, and families walking beside their students on the path of higher education. We believe in equipping families with perspective, language, and tools to support without pressure—helping them serve as steady guides while their young adults chart their own course.
Ursa Minor exists to ease the tension families often feel between guiding and letting go. We provide resources that encourage trust, understanding, and encouragement, so parents can nurture resilience instead of adding stress. It’s about becoming a source of strength and clarity for students, not another voice of pressure.

Ursa Minor will soon release deeper guides and bundles designed specifically for families who want to be active, supportive partners in their student’s journey:
- The Compass, Not the Map – A guide for parents on offering direction without control.
- Family Wayfinder Kits – Downloadable tools with exercises, reflection prompts, and rituals for supporting student success at home.
- Guardian Bundles – Resources paired with student-facing tools for parallel growth (e.g., family + student planner sets).
- Workshops & Digital Mini-Courses – Focused sessions on topics like resilience, communication, and navigating transitions.
These offerings position families not as overseers, but as companions on the path, equipped to encourage growth with balance, wisdom, and perspective.
