Coping with the stress of the Corona crisis – Services for international students at the Hochschule Fulda
Away from home, culture shock – and now Corona. For many international students, the corona crisis considerably exacerbates the hardships of dealing with life and study or work related conditions in a new culture. Social distancing can further reinforce feelings of anxiety, depression and loneliness arising from homesickness and separation from family.
Yet, talking may help. In difficult times, a sympathetic ear and a new perspective can serve as an energizer. Intercultural services from your intercultural coordinator at the Hochschule Fulda are still available to international students. If you need to talk, or just someone who listens and understands you, or if you need support or ideas to combat “Corona Stress”, you may contact:
Dr. (Univ. Mumbai) Pritima Chainani-Barta
pritima.chainani-barta@verw.hs-fulda.de
In addition, you can also contact Ms Gesa Pusch-Thomas (gesa.pusch-thomas@hs-fulda.de) from the International Office.
