Bloom Relationships, Roles & Starting Over Together
Part of the Bloom by AUE Wellness Connection Café
Immigration does not only change one person’s life. It can change the whole household. Partners may take on new roles, children may adapt at a different pace, and responsibilities at home can shift in ways no one expected.
These changes can bring families closer, but they can also create stress, misunderstandings, or the feeling that everyone is adjusting on their own.
Join us for coffee and an informal, facilitated conversation about how immigration can affect relationships and family roles, and ways to communicate, support each other, and grow together through the change.
Event Details:
Date: Thursday, December 17
Time: 6:00–7:30 p.m.
Location: 7 Ricketts Road, St. John’s
Free | Registration required | Coffee and tea included
During the session, we will:
- Talk about how moving to a new country can shift roles and dynamics at home
- Explore common challenges couples and families face while adjusting
- Connect with others going through similar changes
- Try a practical exercise or tool to support communication and connection at home
What to expect:
A relaxed, facilitated 90-minute session with coffee and tea, conversation, an interactive activity, and a practical takeaway. Every session has a clear topic, but the conversation is guided by you and the people in the room. There is no pressure to share anything you are not comfortable sharing.
