What is stress and life transitions?
This covers the stress that comes with significant life changes: starting university, a new job, marriage, parenthood, immigration, or moving to a new city. Even positive transitions can bring real disorientation and anxiety.
Many Muslim clients are also navigating these transitions while balancing family expectations, community roles, and, for immigrants or their children, questions of cultural adjustment on top of the transition itself.
