Focus on Families: Making the Most of “A Family Guide to Study Abroad”, Part Three

December 4, 2025 12:00 PM

Best suited for professionals who are advising students and their families on education abroad programs, this 75-minute session will focus on Chapters 6 – 7 of “A Family Guide to Study Abroad”. We’ll be discussing support while abroad including culture shock, communication, mental health, local resources, and wrapping up with assistance with returning home and leveraging the experience. This isn’t your book club, so you don’t need to read the chapters before we discuss them! Our goal is to provide an overview of the material, share relevant stats that will support you in your work, and allow time for discussions with colleagues on your wins, needs, and challenges in this space. 

A limited number of codes to download English or Spanish versions of “A Family Guide to Study Abroad” will be provided to attendees. This guide is offered for purchase by IIE and AIFS Abroad does not benefit from any sales.

Led by: Kelly Holland and Nele Thomsen
