Debrief

an important step

• An ‘end-of-term’ debrief may have been given by their agency while still on the field, but a ‘returning home debrief', around 6 weeks after the return may also be a welcome addition. 
• This could be an informal, open-ended question, ‘interview’ style to allow the returning field worker to process their thoughts and feelings.
• A debrief can be useful, even for a temporary trip home to address issues that may be under the surface.
