Course Outline:

As educators, we sometimes take for granted the impact that high mobility across cultures may have on our students. These experiences are a positive, additive experience; however, it can also bring disenfranchised grief and loss if the transitions are not manged well. In this webinar, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, Gabriela Santacruz, explores through the lens of attachment theory, the challenges and benefits our international students experience, and how we might harness the benefits of having cross-cultural students in our schools.

Training topics will include:

International transition and cross-cultural young people.
Transitions and disenfranchised grief.
High mobility in relation to attachment theory.
Schools as a safe base, how to support.

Learning outcomes:

Understanding the impact of international transition and cross-cultural experiences.
Recognising and addressing challenges and benefits of this experience to the individual.
Suggested support mechanisms.
