Risk: climbing up stairs can be a big risk factor for claustrophobia and anxiety with not a lot of room and a ton of people. @EmilyRolf1 @uwldolcevita #2018ldv #ABNRISKuwlax

Twinning can be a way to have fun with your friends and protect you from mental illnesses. You have a great support system around you if people are all willing to wear the exact same thing in a new city. #2018ldv #ABNPROuwlax @uwldolcevita

Climbing up churches with your friends is great physical exercise while experiancing important parts of other cultures. @uwldolcevita #CULHLTuwlax #2018ldv

Protective factor : this park is a protective factor because you can go to hangout with friends piece of mind or have fun with family. Also it is extremely beautiful so no-one could be sad or upset while being in it! #ABNPROuwl @uwldolcevita #2018ldv

Risk factor: taking exams like a lot of the Italian students can be extremely stressful. Especially when you have to do both oral and written and having oral be in front of people. It can lead to disorders like anxiety. @uwldolcevita #ABNRISKuwlax #2018ldv

Cultural: this lady is wearing a traffic vest as fashion. This shows people can wear lots off different fashion styles and still be in style! @uwldolcevita #CULHLTuwlax #2018ldv

In Italy it is acceptable to eat a whole pizza. Probably because the ingredients are fresher and the dough is a lot less! This is a cultural difference because we eat a slice or two. @uwldolcevita #CULHLTuwlax #2018ldv

[Taylor Douma @DoumaTaylor]

Expressing yourself in a safe environment is a protective factor. It’s important to “get out” how you feel more often then not because if you don’t express yourself it can lead to mental illnesses like depression. @uwldolcevita #ABNPROuwl #2018ldv

@FinbraatenMeg @uwldolcevita You’re so right meg! I have to cool it with the gelato eating! @uwldolcevita

[Taylor Douma @DoumaTaylor]

@katie_barreau @uwldolcevita Omg this is actually too funny sorry katie! Glad you finally got a towel!!

[Taylor Douma @DoumaTaylor]

Going out for a happy hour during sunset is a great protective factor because you appreciate how beautiful the world around you is and you get to spend time with your friends. @uwldolcevita #ABNPROuwl #2018ldv

[Taylor Douma @DoumaTaylor]

@megan_hein22 @uwldolcevita Omg this is so cute! @uwldolcevita

[Taylor Douma @DoumaTaylor]

@MicaelaJulian1 @uwldolcevita Literally had so much fun and the best pizza ever! Best event so far!! @uwldolcevita

[Taylor Douma @DoumaTaylor]

@megan_hein22 @uwldolcevita That water is so gross I hope that’s not what we’re drinking!! @uwldolcevita

[Taylor Douma @DoumaTaylor]

Cultural health: in Italy you usually have to pay for water. This is a physical health risk because you run the risk of becoming dehydrated a lot easier. #CULHLTuwlax @uwldolcevita #2018ldv
