Repatriation
Deep, self-paced psychological support for the employee coming home — plus the company-facing tools your team needs to retain them. Add the Partner or Family re-entry track when the return calls for it. Clinically built. Run by your team.
You developed them abroad. Then they come home — and start to leave.
The outbound move gets visas, shipping, housing, schools. The return gets a plane ticket and a “welcome back.” Then reverse culture shock, a lost expat identity, and no clear role waiting all land at once — and the person you invested in quietly starts looking elsewhere. The Repatriation Toolkit is the layer that picks up exactly there.
Two layers, itemized — everything for the returning employee and your team.
Company-Facing Infrastructure
Everything HR and Global Mobility need to plan the return early and retain the person — without a clinician on the payroll.
- Repatriation readiness & risk assessment (from 6–12 months out)
- Career-reintegration planning framework
- Re-onboarding & knowledge-capture playbook
- Receiving-manager & team briefing guides
- Retention-focused check-in cadence & risk-flagging
- Outcome & retention tracking
Employee Psychoeducation
Deep, self-guided support for the person actually coming home — from before departure through the first year back.
- “Before You Return” — pre-repatriation preparation
- Reverse culture shock & the re-entry curve
- Grief & the loss of the expat self
- Career reintegration & belonging back home
- Reconnecting with people & a place that moved on
- Integrating who you became abroad
- Your support plan, reflection tools & the interactive journal
- Resource & referral directory
The employee isn’t the only one coming home. Add the tracks that are.
The Partner Re-entry Track
The partner who built a whole life abroad now dismantles it — the community, the identity, the routines. Coming home is often its own loss, and the one no one plans for.
The Family Re-entry Track
For the third-culture kids returning “home” to somewhere that feels foreign — the lost friendships, the school re-entry, and the ones who quietly don’t fit.
Add the clinician who built it.
For programs that want a human alongside the materials, Stephanie offers confidential 1:1 re-entry sessions — available bundled with the toolkit or standalone. Monthly, every two weeks, or weekly, depending on where someone is in the return.
Confidential support sessions — an educational and organizational resource, not therapy, treatment, or a crisis service.
Live in your program in three steps.
License & configure
We map the core to your program and add the Partner or Family re-entry track if the return needs it. No new headcount.
Assess & equip
The employee completes the readiness assessment and begins the self-paced modules — ideally 6–12 months before the return.
Support & retain
The check-in cadence runs through the return and the first year home, with risk-flagging so you retain them — not replace them.

We’re partnering with a small founding cohort to run the Repatriation Toolkit in real programs — preferential pricing, direct input into the roadmap, and a seat in shaping the toolkits still in development.
