DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS
Since October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, it’s a good time to talk about what makes a relationship healthy.
✅ In a healthy relationship:
- People are safe, kind, and respectful to each other.
- They talk honestly and listen to each other.
- They make decisions together and share control.
- They trust and support each other.
- They let each other have their own space, friends, and independence.
- You enjoy being together, have fun, and laugh often.
🚩 In an unhealthy relationship:
- One person tries to control the other and make all the decisions.
- Things feel unsafe and unfair.
- There is constant tension or walking on eggshells.
- There is dishonesty or hiding things, yelling, threats, fear, or violence.
