Hi everyone and welcome to another group chat and thanks for logging onto our chat tonight. My name is Jo and I’m one of the mental health clinicians here at eheadspace, really looking forward to chatting to you all and discussing what support is out there for international students to access!
Moving to a new country to study and adjusting to a new culture can be very stressful and a BIG transition for anyone to make. It’s also important to know that international students face unique mental health stresses and it can be easy to concentrate on your studies and forget about taking care of yourself.

With very few support networks, language barriers and pressures from home, international students face many challenges and these challenges can all greatly impact on their mental health leaving them to feel unsettled and anxious. Which is why we're here tonight to discuss what supports are out there for international students to access here in Australia. Hopefully you find this a helpful group chat!
