ABOUT YOUTHCOMPASS
YouthCompass is a cross-cultural community program which addresses the unique needs of mobile teens by providing caring adult role models who come alongside and assist them in navigating life.

RESOURCES
INTERNATIONAL THERAPISTS DIRECTORY
This directory is specifically focused on therapists experienced in working with TCKs and expat families. These therapists are located around the world and the aim of this directory is to make it easier for international families to find them. Neither YouthCompass nor those who maintain the directory are offering any specific referrals. However, it is a great place to start when looking for a therapist that will be able to work well with a family that has lived overseas.
YouthCompass offers practical, experience-based resources for Cross-Cultural Kids, their families, and the communities that serve them. From articles and devotionals to training tools and conversation guides, our goal is to strengthen and equip those walking alongside TCKs. Click below to access the Resources page.
DONATE
When you invest in the lives of international youth through YouthCompass, you impact teens who will impact the world. Each YouthCompass region, community and staff member is supported through donations given by individuals, foundations, churches, and corporations dedicated to investing in today’s global teens.
