Online courses and pandemic isolation have taken a toll on the mental health of many students. But for those coming here from other countries to study, the stress is even harder.
That’s why Hong Fook Mental Health recently created a new program, specifically to address the needs of Asian university students in the Toronto area.
The 26-year-old began at Hong Fook as a participant in the youth program. She says students have been doing courses and assignments online, without family or other supports in Canada. Even though more people are gathering together now, many foreign students are still hesitant to open up to strangers, especially in a different language.
“With translation services, escort services, so they have access to professionals to get help,” Wong said. Today, Hong Fook offers services in Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese and Korean, plus staff often speak additional Asian languages.In many Asian societies, “mental illness may be seen as a kind of family shame or weakness,” explains Wong.
