What is it?
When you are relocating to a new place, your mental and emotional state is affected by unique features that will challenge you. It is important to take care of yourself and receive special support from family, friends and professionals.
Living in a foreign country is a fantastic opportunity that probably you have been seeking for a long while: an exotic culture to discover with their own customs and tasty foods, a new language, a different lifestyle, plus a new job and if you have a family, a new school community. All these excitement comes along with stress and worries that can affect your work performance, mental health and the quality of your relationships.
Flexibility and confidence are key factors that will help you adapt to a new job and find the balance between work, family and leisure. If you are the spouse or the accompanying partner, you will have more responsibilities and challenges, whether you have a job or not. Taking care of a family and house is a full-time job, and children are more sensitive to change: they are likely to express themselves more disruptively than usual.
For relocation is always wise to invest time preparing yourself and family to navigate unfamiliar situations, have a smooth settling and get the best of it.
