OverviewExpat Teens Talk is specifically targeted to Expatriate Teenagers and those who work with this unique population. It addresses the needs and different challenges that Expat Teens face throughout their lives (in particular, their adolescent years), and enables them to learn more about and understand that most of what they are going through and what they feel as a result of constant change in their lives is 'normal' and shared by many other Expat Teens worldwide. Expat Teens, worldwide, shared with us their stories, questions, challenges, fears, and experiences. In return for their submissions, we provided them with support, advice, and solutions from the perspective of their fellow Expat Peers, as well as the perspective of other Expat Parents and Expat Professionals, as these are the three groups that Expat Teenagers most want to hear from. It is meant to be a 'dip in, dip out' book, as opposed to feeling like it has to be read from cover to cover. We hope to provide the tools and information that Expat Teens can use to empower themselves and their peers, worldwide.

Hempstead, P&G, 1976-1999, Wm, Wrigley, Jr. Company, 1999-2008 Author InformationDr. Lisa Pittman is a practicing psychologist who has worked in domestic (USA) and international settings. She is American, and her first international employment experience began in 2008 in Singapore, where she worked for a private practice. She conducts diagnostic assessments, and counsels International and Monocultural students and their families on a wide range of social, emotional, behavioural, and psychological issues. Her favourite activities include reading and traveling, and her favourite 'personal fun fact' is that she has traveled to all seven continents. Diana Smit (M. Ed. Spec. Ed.) is the mother of three Expat Teens (ages 14, 15, 17) who only know Expat Life. Diana's teenagers have never lived in either of their passport countries (she is Canadian; her husband, Peter, is Dutch) and are truly global citizens. Diana and her family have lived in many countries, including Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Egypt, Indonesia and Singapore. Diana has pursued a fulfilling career as an educational therapist, and she supports the academic needs of International students as a result of their Specific Learning Difficulties. Diana and her family have a passion for adventure travel. Their most recent trip took them to Churchill, a town alongside Hudson Bay. There, they had the incredible opportunity to kayak and snorkel with Beluga Whales, and to observe polar bears swimming in Hudson's Bay from less than one metre away.
