Healthy Relationships

Positive relationships nourish us emotionally and help us feel connected. All relationships, not just the romantic ones, need to be worked at to make them a success and some compromise and effort is required to maintain them so that they stay healthy and fulfilling.

Communication is really important for healthy relationships and it’s often poor communication that makes things go wrong. This is particularly important when it comes to discussing sex and having the confidence to tell your partner or partners what you like and what you want and listening to what they want too. It is essential that consent is both given and received and that you are able to communicate about safer sex and contraception.
