International students often face a unique set of challenges as they navigate a new culture, language, and academic environment. These challenges can significantly impact their mental health and well-being, increasing their risk of developing eating disorders or other mental health issues. This is a particularly important population for us, as Boston is one of the top destinations for international students in the world, and our offices in Brookline MA are perfectly situated to serve them.
