Navigating My Own Waves: A Guide for Immigrant Youth

You are allowed to figure it out. Moving to a new country asks a lot of a young person. New school, new rules, new versions of yourself, all at once. Some days it can feel like being two people inside one body. This workbook is a quiet place to work it out.

What is inside

More than forty activities and reflections, written to be answered at your own pace.

• Name what you feel, and understand why it keeps showing up
• Set boundaries and make sense of your relationships
• Understand your body, your moods and your limits
• Hold on to where you come from while you become who you are
• Plan for the life you actually want

There are no right answers here. No grades, no marking. Just your story, in your words, at your pace.
