Lots of things define and shape who we are as people. One of these factors is cultural identity, which can have a big impact on how we view the world and how we feel we fit into it. Cultural identity is made up of a unique combination of things, such as where we grew up, where we live now, where our parents are from, our religion, the language we speak, or our race or ethnicity. This can influence our values, where and who we spend time with, what we eat and drink, our practices and habits and our views on health and wellbeing. Sometimes it can be tricky to unpick different elements of our identity. If you need to talk to someone, a Streetwise Mental Health and Wellbeing Worker, Youth Worker or Counsellor may be able to help.
