Therapist-Led Support Groups
Living Abroad, Together
A 4-week online support group for expats navigating identity, isolation, and belonging abroad
Living abroad comes with real, practical struggles like navigating a new language, bureaucracy, cultural norms and values, systems (healthcare, education, employment, etc.), and figuring out logistics that used to be automatic. It also comes with less visible struggles like feeling isolated, losing your sense of identity, missing people back home who don't quite understand what this life is like.
This group is a space to talk about both. Over four weeks, we'll work through the everyday challenges of living abroad alongside the harder-to-name emotional ones with other people who are figuring out the same things.
