Adjusting to a new school and a new country at the same time can be tough; everything can seem new and unfamiliar. What at first seemed like a new adventure may now make you feel unsure about your decision. However, you are not alone. Homesickness and Culture Shock are a natural part of the student life cycle. Join Marion Clorey from Student Affairs, and Richelle Greathouse, from the International Student Office, as they discuss strategies for dealing with this life transition, and how to identify when you might need to get some extra support. Coffee and cookies kindly provided by the International Student Office. View the full UPEI Mental Health Week 2019 schedule
