The necessity of professional retraining for a number of immigrants represents change that is sometimes unwanted or unexpected. This is generally characterized as a “loss of status,” a need to rebuild yourself and to mobilize various resources to give meaning to your place in the new social context. This talk will address these questions, supported by results of a comprehensive exploratory study of 10 immigrants.
Marceline Bangali, organizational and counselling psychologist, is a professor at Laval University, responsible for many research projects on the process of identity building and rebuilding in situations of complex transition.
