Relationships
Any connection or bond between two people can be considered a relationship. This includes family members, friends, dating partners, co-workers, acquaintances and even, to a certain degree, strangers we come into contact with. Relationships exist on a spectrum from healthy to unhealthy to abusive. Are your relationships healthy? What steps can you take to improve them?
