No relationship — whether a romance, family relationship, or friendship — is perfect. Relationships are messy, but there are some points where a messy relationship can cross the line into being potentially toxic or abusive. In this virtual session, join Safeline (your local domestic violence, sexual violence, and stalking advocacy organization) for a discussion of what kinds of behaviors to be on the lookout for. While working on a small art activity, we will explore red flags of unhealthy relationships and green flags of healthy relationships.
Safeline serves as the sexual and domestic violence and stalking hotline and advocacy program for Orange County and northern Windsor County. To learn more about Safeline, visit www.safelinevt.org. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, sexual violence, or stalking, call our 24/7 toll-free number, 1-800-639-7233 or 1-800-NEW-SAFE.
