Mental Health Meetup: Managing My Emotions as a Job-Seeker in Belgium

Theme for this event
Managing My Emotions as a Job-Seeker in Belgium

Job searching isn’t just a professional journey — it’s an emotional rollercoaster. In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll explore the real feelings that come with looking for work in a new country: uncertainty, self-doubt, frustration, hope… all of it. Through practical psychological tools, reflections, and simple grounding techniques, you’ll learn how to understand your emotional patterns, reduce overwhelm, and keep your motivation steady

Why we organize the Mental Health Meetups
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).
