Healthy relationships
Healthy relationships make us feel good.
Everyone has the right to feel safe in their relationships.

- Feeling relaxed
- Free to spend time with other people
- Having your own hobbies
- Making individual decisions
- Respecting each other’s identities, values and opinions
- Saying ‘no’ to each other
- Good communication

Unhealthy Relationships
Not all unhealthy relationships are abusive.
However, all abusive relationships can be considered unhealthy.
Make you feel:
- unsupported,
- misunderstood,
- scared,
- demeaned, or
- attacked.
