@FatimaDeya9 Good point! Some ppl may find these restricting but reasons behind these is to provide a safe & respectful environment for everyone #OENV17

@mikaylah_miller Very interesting &a relevant point. We living longer means the retirement age will be pushed higher and productivity will increase #OENV17

@BarhamKayla I agree! When I visit my family overseas it's difficult to follow our schedule for the day because their times don't match our plans #OENV17

@rachelle_coe Generally everybody shops during day & night. But I know most women wait for their husbands to arrive after work & go as a family #oenv17

[Neha Nadeem @NehaNadeem97]

@BillWongOT However, visiting my family in Pakistan, during cultural and religious celebrations, most shopping malls are open all night; so much fun!

[Neha Nadeem @NehaNadeem97]

@BillWongOT Yeah, in Australia we have every Thursday dedicated to late night shopping & shops close at 9pm too. #OENV17

[Neha Nadeem @NehaNadeem97]

Visiting family in Pakistan, it is a cultural norm that shops are open till 12am & ppl prefer late night shopping. Other cultures? #OENV17

[Neha Nadeem @NehaNadeem97]

@hayleybowers_ Celebrations definitely differ culture to culture. Most of my family's celebrations are not complete without family and friends #OENV17

[Neha Nadeem @NehaNadeem97]

@mcgrath_fallon Yes! using cultural practices in mental health may help in addressing this & overcoming stigma, it may vary for different countries. #OENV17

[Neha Nadeem @NehaNadeem97]

My culture: celebrations mean getting the family together, visiting each other, lots of socialising & food. Different for others? #oenv17

[Neha Nadeem @NehaNadeem97]

Every country has their important cultural practices. For Pakistan, keeping their language alive is crucial. https://t.co/8LcU8qWhWY #oenv17

@ainemccann94 This is amazing! A positive, supportive social environment can literally save your life #OENV17

@hayleybowers_ A great example of how Mustafa still practices his culture, has assimilated into a new country and overcame language barriers @OENV17

[Neha Nadeem @NehaNadeem97]

Whatsapp- a useful virtual platform where I am a member of various family & friend groups; keeps me connected nationally & globally #OENV17

[Neha Nadeem @NehaNadeem97]

Being part of OT & Allied health @GriffithOT @Griffith_Health gives me sense of belonging; connecting me with ppl in other programs #OENV17

Family is an important part of the social environment which makes planning holidays and going on holidays fun, leisure occupations. #OENV17
