What Are Life Transitions?
Life transitions refer to significant changes or shifts that alter how you live, see yourself, or relate to others. These may be expected or unexpected, chosen or imposed.
Common transitions include moving to a new city, changing careers, becoming a parent, managing health changes, or experiencing loss. Even positive transitions can feel emotionally challenging.
Transitions often bring disruption, but they can also offer opportunities for reflection, growth, and renewal.

- Career changes, retrenchment, retirement, or new leadership roles

- Relocation, migration, or returning to Singapore
- Relationship changes, marriage, separation, or divorce
- Parenthood, fertility challenges, or caregiving roles
- Health changes, illness, injury, or ageing
