Mental Health and Well-Being in International Education: Reflections on Providing Support for Students and Administrators. Global Education Research Reports
Sarah Ingraham; Leah Mason
Institute of International Education
In the United States, the field of international educational exchange has increasingly focused on mental health and well-being throughout the program cycle--from international students coming to the United States and those studying abroad and their host institutions and families. This focus extends to the advisors and administrators supporting these students at U.S. colleges, universities, and organizations administering exchange programs. This welcome shift advocate elevating mental health and well-being as paramount in any student's international education experience, ensuring their journey is supported and positive. It further acknowledges the importance of well-being support for students' academic success and international education professionals' critical role in supporting their mental health. At the same time, this situation has created a dialogue around how international exchange administrators can receive the necessary support to address mental health issues and feel supported in their professional roles. This report highlights some of the promising practices administrators can implement to better support students on their journey, acknowledging administrators themselves also need support -- both in training to handle the mental health and well-being needs of the students they work with as well as organizational support for their own mental health and well-being.
