When you move from your home community to an urban centre, you will be more independent and responsible for your own life choices.

There are a variety of ways to live a healthy lifestyle and meet new people, such as:

• Joining a sports team
• Getting involved in a community group
• Volunteering
• Getting a part-time job
• Attending community and cultural events
• Surrounding yourself with others who are making healthy life choices
