Pre-Departure Training

— Why Pre-Departure Training?
For most global workers, pre-departure preparations can take years. All the different facets of an employee's impending transition are considered, but the children are often overlooked. Children experience a huge upheaval as they depart from their passport country to a new location. That upheaval can be an opportunity for growth or it can be a missed opportunity. Let us help set you and your TCKs up for success in this upcoming transition! 

Many families preparing for departure have emphasized their need to have their questions about their children amidst this transition answered by an expert in TCK care. The consulting sessions included in these packages provide that opportunity for general questions, but also have a structure that will enable families to know what questions they should be asking. Preliminary worksheets will be provided prior to the first consult to provide some initial education and allow parents time to think through the information and how it applies to them before the first consult session. The second consult session will be similarly supported, while still offering space for parent questions.

Debriefing

-Why do we need to debrief?
Most parents want to find ways to support their children throughout various transitions and unique difficulties, however their sending agencies do not always provide care or resources tailored for TCKs.  Family Debriefs are an excellent way for expatriate families to check in and process the experiences of international life - including mobility, transition, and potentially traumatic events.
