transition planning

helping to plan transition Transition is fundamentally different from change. Where change is external and situational (i.e., marriage, a new job), transition is the internal process of how one responds to the change. There are three phases in transitions. First, there is an ending, where one acknowledges the losses that result from letting go of the familiar. Second, there is a neutral zone, where the old situation no longer exists and the new is not yet comfortable and, third, if the first two are adequately attended to, there can be a new beginning. We believe that change efforts will have a better chance for success if framed with transition processes in mind. AFF will explore the power of the transition model as it applies broadly to the area of social change, and as it applies specifically to two program areas.

Funding

Funding Home foster care conflict resolution Many communities are searching for effective vehicles to address and move beyond the violence they experience. While retributive models designed to identify and punish aggressors have their place, some communities are exploring restorative justice models. The common theme here is to restore dignity to individuals and to provide a process for healing that allows the community to move forward. If you wish to apply from the Andrus Family, you need not only have a project that falls within the areas in which we make our grants, but you also need to be willing to build into your efforts a way to help your clients and others affected by your efforts through the transitions that your actions will inevitably cause. This does not mean that you need to be an expert on transition or even that you fully understand the transition-dimension of your project. We will help you with those things.
