Family Debriefing

TCK Training believes that high-quality debriefs are one of the most effective elements of preventive TCK care.

Debriefing is...processing the hardships of the past to move forward in healthier ways

Our expert debriefers will help your family
unpack the heavy experiences of the past,
develop a toolbelt for navigating future hardships, build parent-child connectedness, and ultimately help your family move forward in healthy ways together.
