Signs of a healthy relationship Healthy Relationships | 1800RESPECT
A healthy relationship brings more happiness than sadness or stress. The other person doesn’t scare you and you can talk openly about your feelings.
A healthy relationship gives you freedom to:
See family and friends
Go out without the other person
Control your own money
Make decisions about your body
Make decisions about your work, friends and where you live
Have your own hobbies and interests
Follow your own cultural practices, religion or spiritual beliefs.
A healthy relationship is not abusive, meaning you:
Communicate with each other with respect
Are not scared to be honest about how you feel
Feel safe
Can say no to sex.
A healthy relationship is respectful, meaning you:
Listen to each other’s opinions and feelings
Are able to celebrate achievements
Don't insult or abuse each other when arguing
Don't force each other to do things you don’t want to do
Don't control or manipulate each other.
Relationship behaviour that is abusive is never OK and may be domestic and family violence or sexual violence.
Repeated behaviour that makes you feel unsafe can be a sign of an abusive relationship #16DaysInWA
Positive Parenting Program
Many thanks to our school psychologist Brooke, for facilitating our first Triple P seminar (Positive Parenting Program) this morning. It was wonderful to engage with our new parents, hearing their thoughts and sharing ideas on raising resilient teenagers, in particularly our new Year 7s transitioning to High School next year. We will be moving forward with more seminars in the new year, including evening events to cater for all parents/guardians time frames.
Thank you to all who attending today.
