A number of our Reliant international workers were called to the field to minister to other workers, and their services are available to all International staff, team members and team leaders alike.
Your engagement period will vary based on your needs, though these relationships are generally short-term to help you navigate a decision or season. Consider this person a temporary addition to your existing care network to help you process circumstances and/or develop tools for thriving. Some reasons you might want to reach out to someone independent include, but are not limited to: debriefing, not thriving (whether you know why or not)feeling stuck, marriage tuneup or conflict, parenting questions, team dynamics, questions of calling, and skill-specific coaching such as language learning, cultural adjustment or leadership development.
