Studying abroad is an exciting opportunity to experience a new culture, learn a new language, and gain valuable academic and professional skills. However, it can also come with its own set of mental health challenges. Adjusting to a new environment, being away from family and friends, and dealing with cultural differences can all take a toll on a person's mental well-being. To help you navigate these challenges and maintain your mental health while studying abroad and as part of the series "Mental Health and International Education," we interviewed a mental health professional based in the UK and asked for his advice on preventive measures that students can take to avoid suffering mental health challenges while studying abroad. Listen to what he had to say.
