Culture shock is the process of adjustment to an unfamiliar environment. During this process, diverse areas of the individual’s life can be affected, including their emotional, psychological, behavioural and physiological spheres. Individuals experiencing culture shock can feel anxiety resulting from not knowing what to do in a new culture.

Having professional guidance is important, as it broadens your understanding about the process of adaptation and supports you through the process of integration within the new culture whilst maintaining your connection with your cultural roots.

What can be achieved through this workshop:

• Identifying whether you are experiencing culture shock and what are its implications on your life
• Learning how to broaden your knowledge about the new culture and strategies to facilitate your process of adaptation
• Learning how to keep the emotional and cultural connection with your own culture and roots
• Learning strategies to manage the conflicts you experience due to differences between both cultures

Who can benefit:

• People from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds who are experiencing culture shock
