Catrina DeBord, Senior Associate Director at the Northwestern Buffett Institute for Global Affairs

I wanted to say thank you again for taking your time to be with us at NU and share your expertise! We found your session to be very valuable and thought provoking for our group. Again, thank so much, we really value the connection and the content you shared!

Tafadzwa Muchopa, Edu Africa, Quality Assurance Coordinator

We found the practical activities incorporated into the sessions very helpful. They empowered us to learn how to use such tools to improve mental well-being and maintain a healthy mindset. The training helped us better understand the wide range of emotions and how our minds perceive the world. Like our facilitators, we strongly believe that mental wellness in study abroad should involve everyone, not just specific individuals.

Saskia Kaya, AFS

It is such a relief to know that mental health and wellness are gaining more attention, and that there is now a training that shines a light on mental well-being in the context of international education. There is so much more work to be done but this training is a fantastic introduction and should be a requirement for anyone working with students in cross-cultural situations.
