Personal Review
Why Personal Review?
At HealthLink360 we recognise that overseas living can give rise to physical health problems or to emotional stress which emerges on return home for a number of reasons. Among these may be adjustment to a change of role or to the relative wealth of UK society. Young people who have grown up in a different ‘home culture’ can also find it a difficult time.
With this in mind we offer our Personal Review serving the needs of:
- Sponsoring Agencies and churches who wish to fulfil a duty of care and continue to ensure their partner’s/family’s emotional health and wellbeing
- Individuals/families who wish to maintain resilience in their chosen location
- Adults or children who are adjusting to life back in the UK after living or working overseas or in another cultural setting
With experience we have found that most people benefit from an opportunity to reflect on and review their overseas experiences and consider their future plans with an experienced counsellor, in a confidential space. Our personal review aims to do this in an unhurried, structured but client focused way with room to discuss any particular worries or concerns outwith the confines of the sending agency. No report is sent to the agency unless specifically requested by the client and the content agreed.
Personal Review can include:
- Use of a therapeutic tool that measures satisfaction and frustration and gives an indication of current functioning. This is followed by a time of structured reflection
- Dedicated time and space to reflect on all aspects of overseas living and future orientation
Extended Personal Review
Occasionally those who have been living and working overseas have endured a particularly stressful period in which they may have encountered situations of violence and conflict or which may have resulted in strained personal relationships.
At Healthlink360 we offer an opportunity, over a number of days, for an extended personal review. During several appointments over 2-3 days it is possible to evaluate the impact of these events, assess coping strategies and make recommendations for ongoing psychological health and well-being.
Our trained and experienced counsellors have both personal and professional knowledge and experience of overseas service and work hard to ensure that all your concerns are addressed effectively. Learn more about us
Personal Review can be carried out as part of our Home Care package of care or by itself
