Resources & Community
for Adult TCKs

An ATCK (Adult Third Culture Kid) is an individual who spent their developmental years outside their parents' passport country due to their parent's occupation or service, including roles in the military, missionary work, foreign service, NGOs, and related fields. If this description applies to you, we invite you to see yourself and consider your experiences whenever you encounter this term.

This is a space for ATCKs to learn about all that is available to them! We share ATCK specific resources (both from TCK Training and other companies!), give you updates about ATCK projects, and periodically share some nuggets of wisdom from TCK Caregivers.

We've published research on Adult TCKs!

We prioritize research because your story is valuable!
We want you to feel seen and know you're not alone in your experiences! We also want you represented in the care that future generations of TCKs receive.

Our first research survey in 2021 involving over 1,900 ATCKs found elevated levels of trauma in TCK communities compared to monocultural, and therefore a need for increased care.

The First Look of the data from our 2024 survey on adulthood thriving is now available!

Entering adulthood as a TCK can be overwhelming as the familiar transforms into uncertainty, and many ATCKs identify this as the hardest transition they experienced. 

Which is why we've intentionally designed resources to mitigate the challenges of this season providing support:

  • Navigating Repatriation Self-Guided Course: For those who want to work at their own pace, this course empowers you to enter adulthood or transition back to your passport country with confidence. Explore practical strategies for rebuilding social networks, fostering a sense of belonging, navigating cultural adjustments, and taking ownership of your story to forge your path forward.

  • Entering Adulthood Coaching Sessions: Monthly one-on-one personalized coaching for ages 18-22. One of our expert coaches (all adult TCKs themselves) will provide guidance as you process how your TCK experiences and perspective impact you moving into a new stage of life. These sessions include access to the Navigating Repatriation course.
