For the transitions of emerging adulthood

A library for the specific losses and reconstructions that happen between 18 and 24.

Your clients are figuring out who they are while also being told they should already know. They are watching friends diverge. They are realizing the major they chose at seventeen does not fit the person they are at twenty. They are losing parents to slow estrangement and watching grandparents die for the first time.

The sophomore who has stopped speaking to her high school friends. The senior whose dream job suddenly looks like a trap. The international student grieving a country and a self left behind. The student whose parent has been diagnosed during finals week.

Transitional.life is reading material that meets these students where they actually are.
