11.45am 鈥� 12.30pm
In our increasingly mobile world, many people take the opportunity to spend time living and working overseas. While these life experiences can be exciting and engaging, expatriate living can also negatively impact individuals on multiple levels, sometimes leading to significant mental health challenges. It is suggested that frequent mobility, cultural dislocation, high demand for adjustment and adaptation, disrupted attachment and repeated cycles of loss, place expatriates at a higher overall risk for mental health problems. Anxiety and depressed mood play a central role for expatriates experiencing emotional problems. Given this, and the notion that repatriation is one of the most difficult moves a person can undertake, implications for UK based therapists working with expatriate CYP鈥檚 and adults may be more pronounced than imagined.
The session will take you through the Ages and Stages of expatriate living to shine a light on how mental health challenges evolve through growing up/living/working overseas. It will serve as an introduction to the key psychological and emotional aspects of expatriate living, provide you with an understanding of the needs of expatriate clients and offer a model designed to support counsellors working with high mobility.
Presentation slides are available here on the day.
