Abstract

In this article, after a brief discussion of the changing landscape around student mental health in universities, and the particular challenges that may be posed by a Year Abroad for language and cultural immersion, we present a series of mental health challengesarising from the Year Abroad, and make recommendations for overcoming them. We examine both issues that students may face when they are abroad, and the ways in which staff at universities can help those students. These challenges and recommendations arise from a workshop under this title which the authors led at the Year Abroad Conference 2019.
