International experience: change and identity away from home

All Things Mental Health

All Things Mental Health is a young minds podcast. They bridge the gap between research and young people's lived experience of navigating their mental health, creating space for new dialogue to emerge through centring the voice of young minds. All Things Mental Health is in the top 15% of podcasts shared globally.

Our final episode comes from International students, Bertha and Oluwa who speak about their experiences of moving to the UK to study abroad.

Each student faces different challenges but unite in the rewards they have experienced. Bertha and Oluwa explore how their identities interact with their everyday experiences. Change is a constant thread throughout this episode, exploring the fear of the unknown and adapting to a new system. They conclude this series by pointing to ways in which Universities can better support International students as soon as they start to transition from home to the U.K., throughout their studies and after graduation.

Views expressed by individuals are their own and don't necessarily represent those of Student Minds, All Things Mental Health and Colourful Minds.
