Mental Health Meetup: Grieving the loss of identity and being far from home 

In 2025, IHL conducted a survey to understand how internationals in Leuven and the surrounding areas were doing. One thing internationals mentioned they needed more of was mental health support.

So we are launching Mental Health Meetups at IHL. Each month, different topics will be featured relating to mental health. The events will be hosted by mental health professionals, bringing their expertise to the international community.

These events will be in a variety of formats. Some will be informational, conversational, interactive, etc. It's a safe space to participate how you would like (active or passive).

Theme for this event:
Grieving the loss of identity and being far from home

Many internationals experience grief with identity loss when moving to a new country. Learn from a psychology expert who specializes in helping internationals and discuss how to navigate these feelings.
