Helper Sectors: International Workers

2 minutes read

At Gap Relief, we focus our trauma-informed training and therapeutic services within the career sectors that keep our communities safe, that say yes to hard things, and that intentionally stand in the fire of trauma so that we don't have to. Those are the helpers we want to serve.

In the past few weeks, we’ve had the honor to spend some time highlighting these different sectors and the difficulties they face in serving their local and global communities.

International workers love the work they do, but serving in a culture that is not their own comes with hardship and stress. They often do not have the resourcing they need to fully sustain their mission or care for their mental health as they do their job.

In addition to the unique stressors they face, they are also away from their extended families and support systems. These are helpers who have chosen to step away from the familiar and comfortable and uproot their lives and immediate families in order to serve and meet needs across the world. It is our desire at Gap Relief to step in and be their support system; to help ensure they have the resourcing and backing needed to carry out their important mission.

We have the ability to hand them the hope, resourcing, and connection they need to keep going--and you can play a part in that too! As we move toward NWA Gives on April 4th, would you consider supporting the work we’re doing to Relieve the Gaps our international workers and members of all helper sectors are facing in keeping their local and global communities safe and healthy?
