Third Culture Kids –
Southwest Schools Conference – Phoenix, AZ

Aug 11, 2025

In our rapidly changing world, marked by instability and migration, the experiences of Third Culture Kids (TCKs) offer crucial insights into identity, belonging, and mental well-being amidst constant transition. TCKs, who spend formative years outside their parents’ culture, navigate a unique reality increasingly relevant for many.

This workshop illuminates the TCK experience, equipping helping professionals to support their mental health in today’s uncertain climate. We’ll address the growing resonance of TCK challenges due to conflict, environmental crises, and global mobility, impacting more children’s sense of home. By examining how these realities intersect with TCK development, we’ll uncover unique stressors and resilience factors.
