Training for Educators
There is no shortage of educator training options, but there are very few options for educator training specific to the international school context. As experts in preventive care for TCKs and cross-cultural kids, TCK Training provides unique training rooted in a deep understanding of the context you live and work in.

Did You Know?
Our research shows that international school students face higher rates of emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse than indiviuduals in single-country studies. The rate of depression/mental illness among adults in their households is more than double that seen elsewhere. 75% of international school TCKs were impacted by at least one potentially traumatic event.
Paywall-free research for the whole international community
Our research into the international childhood experiences are freely available, including our series of white papers based on an original survey of 1,904 Third Culture Kids.

Resources for your community
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. Being aware of resources of benefit to families in your community is an important way to provide support your students.
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.
