Email from Rachel in Hanover, NH-
For many years I was senior therapist in the counseling service of a large university in New York. I chose to specialize working with international students, a large and still growing group on many American campuses. We found that a considerable number of these students needed psychogical help as they struggle with unfamiliar stresses. Common sources of stress include academic, financial, and relationship issues, but feelings of shame, and the need to "save face" preclude many of these students from seeking help. Campus safety nets need to be expanded to reach them before they become suicidal or may even hurt others.
