Relating to Family, Friends, & Community

Positive support from family, friends and community promotes good health throughout your life.

Culture, customs, traditions, and beliefs of family and community all can contribute to your health.

• As human beings, we are continuously evolving and the way we relate to family, friends, and community may change over time. Although many relationships will be positive, not all family, cultural or community influences will be helpful or supportive to you.
• As you become more independent, you will make important choices that will determine how all these different influences on you interact to help make you the person that you are and that you will become.
