The Transition Experience Resource: Coping with change in COVID-19
The emergence of COVID-19 has led to drastic stages of change for people around the world.
We've made this engaging resource 'The Transition Experience Resource: Coping with change in COVID-19', to help navigate stages of change your community might be experiencing as you journey together.
'The Transition Experience Resource: Coping with change in COVID-19' is an easy to access and freely printable resource that you can use to process transition. We've chosen to use 'emojis' - colourful and easily-recognised symbols from social media to communicate some of the different emotions throughout the transition experience.
The Transition Experience Resource: Coping with change in COVID-19
The Transition Experience Resource: Coping with change in COVID-19 focuses on the changes of social status, emotions and relationships through five stages of transition:
- Involvement
- Leaving
- Transition
- Entering
- Reinvolvement
We have adapted this table from The Salvation Army, Australia Eastern Territory's Margaret Burt and Peter Farthing, with their 'Crossing Cultures – How to manage the stress of re-entry (1996)', designed with David Pollock (Interaction Inc).
