There are certain challenges expat parents face: how to keep your children safe while giving them the space they need to grow and flourish, for example, and how to help them cope with a new school and a foreign language.

‘Third culture kids’ as well as expat children and teens may have difficulty making friends in their new environment. Because they’re living in a culture different from that of their parents, it’s especially important for them to build friendships and feel that they belong. They may also need extra attention and help from their parents in adjusting to life in a new country.

Online counselling can offer you the support and tools you need to help your children find their feet.
