| Life in other countries is different and exotic. For expats, those exotic differences can have lasting negative psychological impacts. Expats are resourceful and generally form support groups to help themselves cope with and adjust to some of the differences. However, if the differences become too overwhelming, expats may need counseling. Western-trained counselors are few and far between outside of America and Europe, so if there is not a local counselor available, the expat may need to find a counselor in another country. Going to another country is expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes difficult to arrange and may require difficult travel, even if the destination is less than 100 km away. What other alternatives are there? The expat can return to the home country to see a counselor. It's difficult for an expat to explain stress to a professional counselor who has only been a tourist in other countries and is unfamiliar with some of the adjustments required to live in other cultures. The other option is repatriation, a financially and psychologically expensive choice for the corporation. Any change in staff due to reassignments, whether scheduled or otherwise, affects the entire corporate family. Stress is contagious and cyclic. It may start with a staff member and go to management and to family; or it may start with an unhappy family member and result in affecting the staff and thereby affect morale and productivity. | | Give your ex-pats the opportunity to talk confidentially with an expat professional counselor who can relate to the feelings they have and who is trained to help them find resolution for some of their problems! |
