You are not alone! The Social
Support Group for International Students is a safe space where you can
talk about your concerns, get great support from other group members,
and empower others who need your support. Through sharing thoughts,
feelings, and concerns in this safe space, you will learn skills,
support, and resources from other group members and the group
