Parents & Families

Raising a global family can be an immense joy. You and your children get to experience a range of cultures while traveling across the world. But, the global life can also be incredibly challenging and isolating. Third Culture Kids have specific challenges and needs. It can be overwhelming to try and learn everything about TCKs, while also navigating the real-life challenges of expat life.

I would love to help. My approach to any TCK care is compassion, grace, and practical resources for you and your family.

Family Debrief:

I am certified through TCK Training to provide Family Debriefs.

Debriefs include two full days of activities for children and parents. We focus on building emotional vocabulary, learning how to process grief, and going through a family timeline. Debriefs are not prescriptive but they are important for TCK care. Debriefs can help parents and children communicate more effectively and learn different ways to process the challenges of being a TCK. After the debrief, I will provide additional follow up resources and suggestions. The length and duration of a debrief can also be adjusted depending on your family’s needs and schedule.

If you are interested in a Family Debrief please contact me for availability!

Contact, Resources, and Support:

It is so helpful for parents of TCKs to be informed about the TCK experience. I’m available for questions and meetings, virtual or otherwise, to share information about TCKs, recent research, relevant experiences, and to be a listening ear to any TCK related concerns.

If you are local to Cambridge and would like to be involved in any upcoming TCK talks or just want to be connect to the TCK community, please let me know!
