Hi my name is Junichi Shimaoka I am one of the counselors at CAPS and I am co-facilitating
a group for International Students. This is a group for International students where you
feel really safe and comfortable. It is a confidential place to be able to talk about
the unique challanges of coming from another culture and studying at U of M. So the issues
that students talk about might include anything from homesickness difficutly with languages
difficutly communicating with professors roommates frienships. There are many things that students
can talk about and get support and maybe get a sense of hope that you are not the only
one going through these issues. The reason why I really enjoy running this group is because
there is a lot of diversity amongst the students who come. It is not just the languages but
also the range of cultures that they come from and I get to really hear all stories
from all kinds all parts of the world. And another reason why I really enjoy running
this group is because I I was also an international student myself so I feel I can really connect
with the students who are going through what I used to go through in college. So if you
are really if you are interested in this group I would really encourage you to come and check
it out. Please contact me at CAPS again my name is Junichi Shimaoka and I will look forward
to seeing you.
