Time to Mind is a guide to handling mental health when going abroad.
When preparing young people to go abroad, it’s important to remind them that living in another country can be a wonderful experience, but they will need to look after their well-being and be aware that they may encounter “culture shock”. It’s essential to tell young people that this is a normal part of the adventure, and stepping out of their comfort zone is not easy, but it can help them discover both the world around them and themselves. Ensuring that they are well prepared will support them throughout their experience.
