Studying abroad is a major life transition. Along with new opportunities and experiences can come homesickness, stress, loneliness, culture shock, and the pressure of adapting to a completely new environment.

During Mental Health Awareness Month, we want international students to know that these feelings are normal—and that support is available.

At UMBC, Retriever Integrated Health provides confidential counseling and wellness support to help students navigate personal, emotional, social, and academic challenges throughout their journey.

Taking care of your mental health is an important part of your success, and reaching out for support early can make a meaningful difference.
