Settling in for success: International student wellbeing workshop 2 – Finding your feet

- Mt Helen Campus
Starting university in a new country can be both exciting and challenging.
Our Settling in for success workshops are designed to help you progress at Federation University — not just academically, but emotionally and socially too.
There are three 3-hour workshops, each focused on helping you feel at home in Australia and at Federation. You'll learn practical skills to navigate cultural adjustments, manage stress, and build a stronger support network here in Australia.
We’re here to help you succeed and feel right at home. It’s not just about surviving — it’s about thriving. Whether you're worried about homesickness, managing study pressure, or simply want to feel more confident in your new environment, these workshops are for you.
Workshop 2: Finding your feet
In this second of three workshops, we’ll help you ‘find your feet’ or create some stability in your new environment. You will learn about potential challenges to wellbeing, including stress, anxiety, and depression. We will also share tips and tactics to help you manage these challenges, with a big focus on seeking help and support when you need it.
In a friendly and supportive environment, you’ll explore:
• how to regulate your emotions
• the symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety
• strategies that can help during periods of poor mental health
• the value of social support and seeking help early
• communication skills.
