While loss and transition are inevitable in life,
certain kinds of crises (e.g. natural disasters, major illnesses, accidents)
may also strike without warning.
They either turn one's world upside down
or freeze the person as if time never passes thereafter.
Be it an anticipatory death or relationship breakdown,
or unwelcomed transitions like
retrenchment and early onset of chronic illnesses,
individuals and families are bound to experience
a mix of grief, fear and anxiety, a sense of vulnerability, and so on.
At times, one's beliefs and perspectives about
self, others and the world
may be severely shaken as well.
Yet, such challenging life experiences
need not always dampen or even tear a person down.
Rather, they may provide an opportunity for one to
discover his/her inner tenacity and strengths,
realize what is important and valued in life,
and foster a closer bond with the significant others.
Anchorage for Loss and Transition strives to journey with individuals, couples and families during their times of loss and transition through counselling therapy. It also aspires to equip and develop helping professionals and other supportive figures through supervision and training, so that more may join this force to provide a secure anchorage for the affected ones and to facilitate their adaptive adjustments thereafter.
