Connect, grow socially and grow a sense of belonging

In this ongoing group, you can share your struggles, practice new social skills, understand more about different cultures and how to make new connections with other (international) students, and/or adjust to a new social environment. You’ll build understanding and support within the group. Also, you’ll work with techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you develop deeper, more meaningful relationships outside the sessions.

Feel free to attend more sessions

    • You’re welcome to attend as many sessions as you like. The more you attend, the more the feeling of connection and progress you’re likely to experience.
    • Each session requires a separate registration, the latest 4pm the day before.
    • The group is 3 times a month.
  • A psychologist will assess whether this group is the right fit or if other support may be more suitable.
