As universities work to recruit and retain international students, there is a growing need to develop methods and resources that address the unique mental health concerns of international communities. This important publication features helpful resources and practical, action-oriented checklists for international student advisers on topics including peer mentoring programs, insurance for mental health services, and advice for handling day-to-day stressors.

She also served as the director of the Slutzker Center for International Services for 32 years and as a board member of InterFaith Works of Central New York and the International Center of Syracuse.

“The culturally-specific challenges of dealing with the mental health issues of international students is a subject that has received inadequate attention, too often leaving individual international educators to devise interventions on their own. In clear language, Addressing Mental Health Issues Affecting International Students spells out the cultural aspects of international students’ mental-health needs. The volume serves as a comprehensive guide that is grounded in real-world examples and concrete strategies that advisers can adapt and adopt.”—Karin Fischer, correspondent, The Chronicle of Higher Education
