This event is hosted by Student Wellness Services.

This 8-week group is for international students who are struggling with the difficult transition from a different country, culture, and traditions to Canada. They may be missing home and the support of family and friends and are finding it difficult to find community and a sense of belonging at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥. In addition to overwhelm and loneliness, they also feel the extra pressure of having to succeed due to cultural and or family dynamics.

In this group, you will:
- Have an opportunity to share your concerns and receive support from others.
- Share solutions and coping mechanisms to better manage the transition/pressure to ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Canada.
- Learn some strategies to manage your mental well being.
- Experience the benefit of community when you are far from home.
