BridgeCare
Virtual Care for International Students.
On-Demand.
Anywhere.
As our world evolves at an ever-increasing pace and society becomes more complex and competitive due to globalization and emerging technologies, many parents are sending their teenage children to study abroad in order to broaden their horizons and give them a head start.
​
International students, who are thrust into a foreign environment and separated by half a world from their home and family, face tough challenges. They must cross several “bridges” to adjust to cross-cultural differences, overcome social-emotional barriers, learn to balance their academic and personal lives, and gain access to good healthcare.
​
Many schools’ cross-cultural adjustment programs often end with school orientation, which is far from sufficient for international students to successfully assimilate, as they need more coaching and guidance along their study abroad journey. Accessing coaching, counseling, and medical care can be complicated and daunting for international students at times when they need it.
70%+ of international students feel overwhelmed, stressed, or lonely.
57% report poor mental health, impacting academic performance or quality of life.
2% seek school counselor assistance.
BridgeCare is here to bridge that gap.

We built BridgeCare to provide one-point access to all the resources an international student needs to be safe and succeed in both cultural acclimation and academics. The student’s journey begins with an assessment of their needs starting with life, cultural acclimation, and language skills while also assessing the student’s physical and mental well-being. From this assessment, BridgeCare experts create a tailored action plan that engages our professional bilingual coaches, mental health counselors, and doctors, as needed, to provide support to help the student navigate the tough challenges they will face. BridgeCare is there to provide the care they need to reach their full potential, enjoy studying abroad, and succeed.
Bridgecare provides certified on-demand coaching and mental health counseling through online chat or phone whenever and wherever students need it. Our coaches and counselors are cross-cultural experts with prior study abroad experience and are adept at helping students overcome the personal challenges of studying abroad. Our ultimate goal is for students to have the most fulfilling study abroad experience possible.
