FAQs

  • Debriefing is the deliberate process of unpacking and processing your past field experiences with a facilitator for the purpose of understanding your story in a holistic and life-giving way so that you can transition well into whatever is next. Debriefing is not a substitute for counseling, clinical care, spiritual direction, or coaching, but may serve as an entry point into these avenues for growth and/or healing.

  • Debriefing is for you if you are a cross-cultural worker who has served abroad for at least one year. We recommend debriefing after your first term, your final term, and after any terms marked by significant transitions or changes.

  • We encourage those seeking debriefing to give themselves at least one month in the US prior to coming to debrief. This provides enough time to begin to get a sense of how it feels to be in the US for a season and how transitions in relationships may impact you. Beyond that, although we have had people come to debrief three, five, and even twenty years after their return and receive immense benefit, we do encourage participants to debrief sooner rather than later.

  • This special event includes full room and board for the duration of the event.

  • This particular debriefing does not include children. If you have children that have been on the field with you, please see one of our other group debriefing events, focusing on caring for the whole family.

  • If you cancel your registration more than 30 days from the start of this event, 90% of your total registration will be refunded, and the 10% deposit will be retained to cover administrative costs. If you cancel within 30 days of the event, 50% of your total registration will be refunded.

    If for some reason TRAIN International cancels or changes the event in such a way that you are no longer able to attend, and you are unable to transfer to a different date, your entire registration (including your 10% deposit) will be refunded.
