[On-screen title] Keeping up with my Culture. Identity. Self. Sazia: I think this is a very lonely and isolating experience for young people. [On-screen text] Life in lockdown Dylan: We're in the most social period of our lives. So in order to adapt to a totally different lifestyle, it's been quite difficult and taking a pretty big mental toll on all of us, yeah. Edwin: Yeah, I feel like it's more lonely than I thought it would be. [On-screen text] Cultural connection Hannah: I have found that my faith is very communal-based and I found that sort of losing that communal means of achieving, you know, a kind of bigger connection and a deeper connection to God and to my Judaism I think has been quite a struggle. Tavleen: My family is back in India and I think one of the hardest things has been not being in actual physical touch with them. [On-screen text] Looking after yourself Edwin: So I felt like I didn't have anyone to talk to and I actually reached out to two friends I have here. Just like the reassurance that you're not in this alone. Sazia: When you're in that place, it's really really difficult to get out of it. Dylan: My advice during COVID or lockdown would be to start hobbies that you've always had in the back of your mind, and also just to keep yourself occupied. Hannah: If you don't have an immediate support network you can reach out to, there's multiple hotlines, there's multiple not-for-profits, there's Facebook pages. Dylan: Seek help from friends, family, support systems. You are not alone. There's always someone willing to help you. [On-screen text] Whatever you're feeling, you're not alone.
