Mental Health Tips - Healthy Relationships
To love at all is to be vulnerable-CS Lewis
Relationships are so important in the human experience; not just romantic relationships, but consider the relationships you have with your friends, family, and other communities on campus or at home. In the season of love think of how to show love and caring to those around you. Here are some tips to consider:
1. Respect—respect helps build a sense of safety, trust, and wellbeing in relationships.
2. Boundaries— knowing when you need time and space is important. Saying ‘no’ is ok. True friendships are reinforced by having and respecting boundaries.
3. Communication—allows for you to explain your emotions and experience with someone else and communicate your needs and expectations.
4. Intentionality—be intentional about what your needs are and set aside time for yourself and others.
