Terminology around relationships is continually changing. Language is shifting away from “healthy” and “unhealthy” relationships as young people who have only seen or experienced what we have traditionally labeled “unhealthy” may think they are not capable of having a “healthy” one. The focus of this training is to better understand how to help young people explore different types of relationships, understand what supportive and unsupportive behaviors look like, and think about what types of behaviors they want in their own relationships. In this three hour training you’ll learn about how to teach about relationships in a way that makes it clear that all people should set their own boundaries on the type of relationship they do and don’t want.
