Re-Entry Resources

These are resources to help your student prepare for the challenges of re-entry upon returning home.  Most of them are designed for a Christian student returning home (especially a student who has become a believer in the US).  There is also one resource written for staff to help them prepare internationals for returning home (in the other resources section below).
