Welcome to the Student Transitions Podcast
About the Podcast
Life is full of change and resulting periods of transition.
For students, some of life’s big transitions begin as they move through education and then on to work, higher education, university and independent living.
Learning how to thrive through these early transitions provides invaluable skills for future change and transition.
This podcast shares insights and strategies to help students thrive in a world where change is the only constant.
Content is helpful for students, educators and parents/carers.

At the crunch points at the beginning and end of the school year, Elizabeth runs workshops for young people, teachers and parents to help them understand common patterns of transition and how to use this knowledge to help themselves during this time and future changes.
