Abstract

ABSTRACT Transition to life in a new country represents complex and challenging tasks for young adults. This transition can be conceptualized as goal-directed action. To date, the literature has not described how these transitions intersect in the goal-directed life projects in which young newcomers engage. Similarly, the literature has not reported attempts to facilitate these processes through brief, goal-oriented supportive counseling interventions. In this study, 12 newcomers to Canada, aged 20–34 years, participated in an individual counseling support intervention intended to assist them to identify and engage in their transition-oriented projects. Qualitative data were collected using the action-project method over approximately a six-month period. Findings indicated that participants engaged in a range of transition projects, thematically grouped as relationship, career, and identity. The findings also revealed information about participants’ engagement with the intervention as part of their transition projects. Implications for research and practice are drawn.

促进目标导向的过渡项目为年轻的成年新移民加拿大:一个简短的支持性咨询干预的定性研究

摘要：对于年轻人来说，在一个新的国家过渡到生活是一项复杂而富有挑战性的任务。这种转变可以被概念化为目标导向的行动。到目前为止，文献还没有描述这些转变在年轻新人参与的目标导向的生活项目中是如何交叉的。同样，文献中也没有报道过通过简短的、以目标为导向的支持性咨询干预来促进这些过程的尝试。在这项研究中，12名年龄在20-30岁之间的加拿大新移民参与了一项个人咨询支持干预，旨在帮助他们确定并参与他们的过渡导向项目。使用行动项目方法收集了大约六个月的定性数据。调查结果表明，参与者参与了一系列过渡项目，主题分为关系、职业和身份。研究结果还揭示了参与者参与干预的信息，这是他们过渡项目的一部分。得出了对研究和实践的启示。
