Supporting Stressed Students: Educating the Parents of Asian International Students
This is a professional paper that I wrote as part of the requirements for completing my M.S. in Education through Cairn University. It describes both the background research that I did and the process that I went through to create a parent seminar about supporting Asian international students during their transition to Western universities.

This is the first of two PowerPoint presentations that I put together for this parent seminar about supporting Asian international students during their transition to Western universities. It includes the following topics: international student adjustment, strong parent-child relationships, and three stressors that Asian international students can face during their transition to university. Interactive discussion questions are interspersed throughout the presentation.
Parent Seminar, Session 2 PPT

It includes the following topics: two stressors that Asian international students can face during their transition to university, social support networks, and a summary of parental support strategies. Interactive discussion questions are interspersed throughout the presentation.
