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 Queen's. 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 Queen's and Canada.
- Learn some strategies to manage your mental well being.
- Experience the benefit of community when you are far from home.
