Healthy Relationships: TBD

Understanding what makes our relationships thrive is key to not only our physical, mental and emotional health, but also the health of our partners, families, friends and communities. We will discuss:

– the benefits of healthy relationships, and how the media distorts our understanding of what is considered healthy
– the foundations of healthy relationships, with a focus on intimate/romantic relationships
– the importance of understanding consent and respecting each other’s bodies and emotions
– effective communication strategies for sharing our needs
