Get Connected to an ATCK Community!

We believe that the challenges of your childhood as a TCK can be honored, addressed,
healed and utilized to move toward thriving as an Adult TCK.

Our monthly ATCK Coffee Chats provide a relaxed space to meet and connect with other ATCK members over a cup of virtual coffee!

Coffee Chats are on the third Thursday of each month at both 8am & 8pm Eastern Time (NY) to discuss a topic with other Adult TCKs (see our list of 2025 topics below!); join whichever time works best for you (or both)!

Get access to ATCK Coffee Chats with:
an ATCK Community Pass ($30/year) or ATCK Membership ($90/year) .
Learn more below about each one!

Our ATCK Community Pass gives you 1 year access to:

2025 Discussion Topics

Each month we'll have a specific discussion question  we'll focus on, usually relating to one of the recent workshops (all of which are included in the ATCK membership or can be individually purchased).

Free Printable Worksheets

We've published research on ATCKs!

There is very little research looking at rates of developmental trauma among TCKs. Our research completed in 2021 surveyed over 1,900 Adult TCKs! Through this research we’ve found that TCKs have high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scores and developmental trauma, and we hope this data encourages an evidence based model of care.
