Adjusting to a new environment isn't always easy, but you don't have to do it alone! Join practicum counsellor Yolanda to learn about the stages of culture shock, connect with others, and discover ways to make your transition smoother and more manageable.

Moving to a new country and adjusting to a different culture can be both exciting and challenging. In this interactive workshop, we will explore the different stages of culture shock, common emotional experiences, and how cultural transitions can affect our well-being.

Through discussions and shared experiences, students will learn to recognize their own adjustment journeys, normalize the challenges of adapting to a new environment, and discover practical strategies to navigate cultural transitions with greater confidence and self-compassion.
