A healthy relationship is defined by trust and respect. Disagreements are normal, but they should be solved with communicating and listening, not name calling, threats or violence. And the rules of consent don’t change just because you’re dating. You can be in a relationship and still be youfree to think your own thoughts, have your own friends and be your own person. Still not sure if your relationships are good for you? Join us Friday February 19th at 2pm at @TRUstudentli...fe for a Facebook Live event where we’ll talk about what a healthy relationship is and what to do if you realize yours isn’t. ------- Every day this week we’re partnering with @TRUStudentlife, @Truworld, @kamloops.sexual.assault.centre to talk about #BuildingSafeCommunity.
