Healthy Lives Healthy Futures is a group which educates students about being healthy. One of the things that they have been doing with International students is educating them on safe drinking behaviours. They had just started last year and got some funding from the City of Melbourne.
You can watch this short video here about the lives of International students in Melbourne.
Healthy Lives Healthy Futures have been working on a video project over the summer about drinking behaviours. In the video the students talk about what problems led them on to drinking. One of them was stress and another was finance. Stress is a very big problem in people's lives.
Also when some of the students come to Melbourne for the first time, they notice that many people drink a lot. So to keep with their local Aussie friends they must drink too.
It doesn't have to be that way. You could opt to not drink or just drink one small glass. Alcohol is very expensive these days.
I was invited to the launch by AFIS. At the launch there was free food and drink. The drink was sparkling grape juice. I wasn't there for the food, rather for the video and a chance to mingle with new students. Such that I did.
Many thanks to AFIS for the invite and I hope to see you soon at your next event.
