As institutions and schools continue to welcome students back to class – whether in-person or virtually – there are some early indications that mental health is already proving an even more challenging concern than before the pandemic. Promoting and supporting student mental health is going to be one of the big challenges of the coming year for both educators and agents alike.

In this episode of ICEF Exchange, expert representatives from the international education industry provide insights on the specialist mental health support that is now being made available to international students.

In this episode, we take a closer look at how one leading study destination – Canada – is laying down concrete plans to safely transfer international students to schools and institutions throughout the country.
