Program Update:
Hello all –
Gracious, I don’t know about you all, but I am ready for spring! However, we’re not there yet and this is the month for Valentines and a time to stop and remember those we care about – that may be a husband/wife, girlfriend/boyfriend, your best friend, a neighbor who seems lonely, or your beloved pet. February is a time to think about those we care about.
Speaking of relationships, it’s a good time to chat about healthy relationships and remind ourselves what is a healthy relationship and what are the signs of an unhealthy relationship.
Healthy Relationships
This article was made possible by loveisrespect.org where you can find information about healthy relationships, services available, and ideas for change.
“All relationships exist on a spectrum from healthy to abusive, with unhealthy relationships somewhere in the middle. Explore our interactive Relationship Spectrum by rating different scenarios as healthy, unhealthy, or abusive and find out where your own relationship falls.
If you recognize any of the warning signs, it may be an indication that your relationship is abusive. Create a safety plan or text, call, or chat now to connect with an advocate to confidentially discuss your situation and explore available options”.
