Overview
Mental health affects everyone and is just as important as our physical health. Everyone experiences stress, loneliness, and feeling down at some times during their lives. This is equally true for international students, who can face various stressors related to their studies and living in a different country.
What You'll Learn
- An overview of mental health
- Specific factors for mental health for students
- Stress Management and Coping Techniques
- Specific Exercises that you can implement in your own life
- Available resources for mental health support
The group workshop is interactive, and the students have the opportunity to practice a number of coping strategies such as, a grounding exercise, guided mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, a bilateral stimulation exercise, and a diaphragmatic breathing exercise. The goal is for the students to understand the impacts of stress, recognize the warning signs of burn out, and begin to assemble their own self-care routine and coping strategies.
The workshop is organized by the International Team with the support of the Graduate School Office and School of Science Faculty members, in collaboration with TELL Japan
