Third Culture Kid Care and Parent-Support Resources

How Can We Help?

Raising Third Culture Kids comes with specific delightful and tricky elements. And it’s hard to overstate the challenge it is to be adulting in a new country as a repatriated Adult TCK. If you’ve come here for TCK Teen counseling, therapy to support a third culture kid in transition or been-there mental health care for Adult TCK challenges, you’re in the right place. And you might need some other kinds of support too.

As a Child Mental Health Specialist, in my TCK care-focused practice, I often recommend these organizations and resources to my clients and their families. Whether your family is navigating an international move, supporting a TCK teen’s emotional needs on the field, or returning from overseas, you will need community and resources like these.

These organizations offer retreats, transition programs, education support, and spiritual care specifically designed for globally mobile families and their kids, teens and young adults. (I’ve been through some of these programs myself at various MK/TCK life stages).
