Transitions (US Version)

“Transitions: Student Reality Check”, is the first Canadian publication of its kind.  However, this resource also has a US version, listing resources applicable to US schools and healthcare institutions.  The guide provides first-year students with information on topics including time management, relationships, sexual activity, mental illness, suicide and addictions. The booklet also includes mental health self-help information and contains recommendations where students can go to get help on their campus. Survey data of students shows that over 90% like the materials, about 40% discussed them with a friend and about 20% sought help for mental health problems because of what they learned.  This demonstrates the utility and postive effect of this resource.

Transitions has been recently made available free of charge for download. This large resource book can also be purchased online by selecting the purchase button at the top of this page.

 “The information contained in these booklets is a necessary bit of knowledge for not only students, but those that have any association with them including teachers, parents, friends, etc. It is a very well organized and packaged source of information.”
