Healthy Relationships
All people deserve to be safe and respected in their relationships, including friendships, family relationships, and romantic and/or sexual relationships. To learn more about healthy relationships and how to get support for unhealthy relationships, keep scrolling.
Keep Learning!
In our classes, we say that people in healthy relationships do 3 key things:
Know and respect each other’s boundaries
Communicate openly and directly with each other
Make decisions in their own best interests
If you want to learn more about healthy relationships and how people do those 3 keys, we have some resources for you!
Supporting Someone Else
It can be challenging to know how to support a loved one who is in an unhealthy or abusive relationship. Love Is Respect has answers and advice.
Consent and Communication
Consent is a very important part of any healthy relationship, whether it’s a friendship, a family relationship, or a romantic and/or sexual relationship. Learn about the basics of consent with AMAZE's video!
For anyone who wants a more comprehensive and detailed guide to consent, Scarleteen has you covered.
Everyone is different, so everyone's feelings about sex are different, too! There isn't one right way to make decisions about sex, but Scarleteen's Sex Readiness Checklist may help.
