ICEF Podcast: How mental health services are adapting to support students during COVID-19

Our podcast series continues with a featured discussion on mental health services for international students. 

As institutions and schools continue to welcome students back to class – whether in-person or virtually – there are some early indications that mental health is already proving an even more challenging concern than before the pandemic. Promoting and supporting student mental health is going to be one of the big challenges of the coming year for both educators and agents alike.

Our host for this episode is Brittany Goodman, ICEF's business development manager for the Americas. She is joined by an expert panel from around the industry, including Clark Hortsing, vice president of Strategic Partnerships at guard.me; Christina Furtado, mental health counselor with guard.me, Jenny Frankel, the marketing director at International Student Insurance, and Yasemin Wigglesworth, the executive officer of AEGIS UK – the Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students.
