Is your relationship unsafe or disrespectful? 

Sometimes, relationships can get complicated or hard. If you answered yes to any of these questions. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. WE'RE HERE TO HELP.

Past and present relationships can affect your health.

It can also lead to using alcohol or drugs to try to feel better.

Caring and supportive relationships are important to your physical and mental health. You deserve a partner that:

  • Cares about you and your health.
  • Is kind to you.
  • Listens.
  • Asks if you need help.
  • Values you just as you are.
  • Supports you through difficult times.

No relationship is perfect, sometimes we need help.
