Transitioning to University brings significant changes, filled with new friends, and new experiences but also new challenges and responsibilities. For our young adults, it’s a time of discovery and stimulation as well as of grief and loss, with the passing from the familiar and protected to the unknown and life on their own. Independence, freedom, and novelty can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. Students may need help finding their feet to make the most of their uni years. 

​

Uni students may need support with:

• Adjusting to a new environment, country, culture, routine, pace, and all of the “firsts”

• Coping with daily stressors, academic demands, and independent learning.

• Coping with living away from home.

• Making new friendships and navigating their social life.

• Grieving their childhood life and managing new responsibilities and long-term life choices.

• Self-definition and existential questioning.

• Developing a healthy routine and life hygiene (sleep, diet, studies, hobbies, managing their finances…)

• Coping with common difficulties that may impact their mental health (depression, anxiety, sleep problem, academic stress, time management, relationship issues, substance experimentation…)
