Healthy Relationships (4 Week Course)

In this four-week course we discover the different features of healthy versus unhealthy relationships of all kinds (friendships, family, colleagues and so on). We will reflect on how our past might influence our relationships and look ahead at how we can make choices to nurture positive relationships. There is a focus on self-connection and self-worth as a starting place for understanding boundaries and getting curious about our needs to support overall wellbeing.

Thursdays 5, 12, 19 & 26 March
