About the Workshop
Relocating can be stressful and confusing in the best of circumstances. When individuals can choose if, when, and where and if to move — rather than having a job dictate the decisions — resources, information and experiences of others are invaluable. This workshop will help you answer these questions and more:
- Should I move or stay put?
- How can I assess whether living in a new place will be as good as visiting there?
- How can I learn what a community has to offer?
- Will I fit in after I move?
- What lifestyle changes should I consider as I think about relocation or retirement?
- What should I be doing now to achieve my goals for the future?
- What criteria should I consider when deciding on relocation?
- What are the financial considerations of relocating?
