Relationships

Healthy mental health relationships bring happiness, laughter, and positive energy into a young person’s life. These relationships make you feel loved, heard, and filled with mutual respect. In healthy relationships, people can feel safe, respected and accepted for who they are.

Unhealthy mental health relationships bring sadness, anger, depression, anxiety, stress, and negative-energy into a young person’s life. These relationships make you feel guilty, angry, and anxious. In unhealthy relationships, people may feel anxious, confused, uncertain and even unsafe. Knowing these differences can help you make choices about who you spend most of your time with.
