Young people today experience change at a pace more rapid than previous generations. Change, loss and transition situations experienced include:
- changing schools
- changing friendships
- the loss of something or someone close
- changing residence such as moving cities or countries
- changing family status such as parental separation or remarriage
- changing state of health.
When young people struggle to cope with these additional change, loss and transition events, emotional distress may result, particularly if they don't have the skills and/or support to cope.
TravellersTM supports at school by helping them to build resilience and enhance connections through:
- exploring their change, loss and transition experiences;
- navigating their movement through change, loss and transition in safe and adaptive ways;
- linking how they think and feel about change, loss and transition situations and how their thoughts and feelings influence how they cope and respond;
- enhancing supportive environments and improving their learning outcomes.
