Details

Living away from home can be exciting; but it also brings unique challenges, from missing home and family to navigating new cultures and routines. This hands-on workshop helps participants explore homesickness and adjustment stress through reflection, exercises, and group discussion. Attendees will identify personal triggers, share coping strategies, and practice tools to feel more connected and grounded.

Real experiences, real strategies, and real support for everyone living far from home.
