Doing an exchange is a transformative experience, but it can also bring emotional challenges such as longing, loneliness, difficulty adapting to the new language, the school, or the host family — and uncertainty about returning to Brazil.
Intercultural consulting offers emotional support across every phase of the exchange — before departure, during the stay, and on return — for the student and for the family at home.

Why join intercultural consulting?
The consulting is designed to follow each phase of the process, with a sensitive eye to the emotions that show up before, during, and after the exchange. Among the benefits:
Emotional preparation before the trip – Strategies to handle the anxiety of change and build more realistic expectations about the exchange.
Support during the time abroad – A safe space to share challenges and develop healthy ways to adapt.
Support on return to Brazil – Help with cultural readjustment and managing the emotions of closing the cycle.
Guidance for families – Support for parents who experience intense emotions when their children leave.
