Section 5: Special Issues

There are many issues related to the practice of member care. This section examines several key issues that are critical to the health and welfare of our workers. Topics include women in difficult settings, families and children, building resilient teams, sexual purity, adjustments and stress issues for individuals and groups.  One key to the longevity in service of cross-cultural workers is their ability to develop a strategy to deal with each of these areas.
