The Wave Clinic. Luxury Residential Programs for Teenagers and Young Adults’ Post

Young people who attend international schools often speak more than one language. This might be the language of their parents and the language of the country they live in, the language of their school, or all of these. Young people may also speak the languages of several other places they have lived in during their childhood. Language has a big effect on the way young people understand, experience, and express their emotions. When it comes to mental health support, languages are a tool for identifying and expressing feelings through a process of healing and positive change.

Sometimes, these experiences are best communicated without a spoken language at all through nonverbal expression and creative activity. 📝 Read on in our blog: https://bit.ly/4dxjAh4 #language #internationalschool #nonverbalexpression
