Open to the Public
This year we're offering a live virtual training in September.
Those with a Caregiver's Membership, including Staff Package
Holders, receive registration for 50% off.
When an organization registers a team of 2+, they can receive a
discount of 10% off.
Self-Guided Training
If waiting for the Open to the Public Training doesn't align with your debriefing goals, you can take the training in a self-guided format. This training will have short videos interspersed with the content, making the training even easier to navigate than the public access training. The self-guided pace keeps people from feeling overwhelmed by all the new information and provides self-reflection activities and practice opportunities throughout the training.
Private Virtual Training
If you're looking to train a team of 10+ people, you can book a private training at a 40% discount per person. You can email our training coordinator to select times and dates for your training. We offer flexible options to cater to a variety of time zones (times and dates are subject to availability). You have the option of paying for the training in whole, or having a product page so each attendee can pay for their own training.
This is ideal for teams in sensitive contexts or spread across the globe.

This training is well worth your time and money if you are involved with TCKs and passionate about helping and working with them. In fact, you need a training like this to truly be effective in working with them.
I will be recommending that this training is mandatory for our debriefers. I think this training is excellent and necessary for anyone who will be working with our kids in this way.
It was well worth the time and money. Anyone working with TCKs needs to take this course. It is one of the best most practical courses I have ever taken.
This training really gives a lot of practical tools for adult caregivers to be both aware and proactive in helping TCKs understand themselves and their stories. I loved it and know that it will help me be a better caregiver to my own TCKs and all the little TCK friends in our circles.
I wish that I would have had this training much earlier in my life. I can see how it would have made a great impact on my family. I would like to see those in leadership to have this training in order to help families or just to understand more what our TCKs are experiencing.
