Healthy Relationships & Abuse in Relationships
Abuse in relationships can happen to anyone. It's not always physical, but emotional and sexual as well.
A healthy relationship involves respect, trust and consideration of the other person. Everyone has the right to feel loved, safe, and free to be themselves. Relationship can be confusing, and unless you understand what a good relationship looks like, it can be difficult to understand what is and isn’t normal behaviour.
