Re-entry Resources
Namaste Loves,
Here are some reentry resources for you that I've collected over the years. I do have some paper articles back in the states that I can send you about the process of reentering your home culture and how to make that transition back to the states a most productive one. I’ve used the first two before with student groups and found them a while back just by searching “reverse culture shock” or “reentry shock” on any search engine. The third link I just found today, and the last link is from SIT. Feel free to google any of these terms and see what comes up.
Enjoy them… I hope that you’re all happy and healthy these days. I miss you all very much.
Much Love to you,
Tracy

This is an interesting website I came across while searching… (Seems Jennifer has an interesting perspective on her travels in India. Makes me think about what you all would put on a list like this…)

Check out this resource, from the School for International Training, written to parents of students who study abroad. Sometimes reading material written for another audience gives you a different perspective on your own experience:
