125, Culture Shock: ??Relearn, Imitate, and Work Hard! (With Alex Ott) - a podcast by GC IWM

Culture shock is one of the biggest issues or problems that missionaries face when entering a new country and trying to adjust to the new culture and the new host community. Sometimes it can lead to the premature return of the missionary family. In less severe cases, it can significantly affect the missionaries’ early adjustment. Most of the time, there are implications for their well-being. In this episode, Alex Ott takes up the subject of culture shock. He looks at what it is, how it manifests itself, and how best to deal with it when in the thick of its assault.
