Blooming Where You Are Planted
--Coping With Relocations Abroad

Description:
Relocating to a new country can be stressful, confusing and frustrating. It can affect your work and your relationships with co-workers and family members. Fortunately, there are proven methods of reducing culture shock that can help you adjust and flourish. Understanding host nations and cultural differences can lead to new experiences that minimize stress and provide a fresh outlook. This course features a role-playing exercise that actually puts participants in culture shock. After understanding the feelings and stresses, the facilitator provides methods to prevent mistakes based on our own cultural blinders. Participants gain an understanding of cultural differences and ways to adjust. It can be developed for country-specific programs or an overview program for all personnel and their families preparing to relocate abroad. This program was first offered to State Department and military families relocating in Europe.
