SUMMARY:Community Event: Virtual Information Session: Mental Health and Wellness for International Post-Secondary Students
DESCRIPTION:In this Virtual Information Session\, frontline staff will learn about the mental health challenges that International Post-Secondary students face\, and actions that can promote wellness. Speakers will include representatives from settlement service organizations and post-secondary institutions who will share their multi-faceted experiences that are applicable to all types of service providers. \nMental health challenges can threaten International Post-Secondary students’ well-being\, jeopardizing their current academic and future aspirations. Financial stressors can be challenging\, with rising tuition\, food and housing costs exacerbating the number of international students living in unsuitable housing and/or accessing food banks.  As full-time studies are a requirement for a work permit\, it is difficult to balance academics with needed work hours.  Additionally\, as with many newcomers\, International Post-Secondary Students face culture shock and social isolation\, as well as worries about their families or conflicts back in their home country.
