HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

​Positive relationships are vital for our mental and emotional well-being. They provide a sense of belonging and support, which can act as a buffer against stress, anxiety, and depression. When we have people we can trust, we're more likely to share our struggles and receive the emotional validation we need to feel understood and cope with challenges. Healthy relationships also contribute to our sense of purpose and self-worth. They can inspire us to be our best selves, hold us accountable to our goals, and offer perspective when we feel lost. Knowing that you are valued and cared for by others can significantly boost your self-esteem and give you the confidence to navigate life's ups and downs. Conversely, the absence of strong social connections, or being in unhealthy relationships, can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, which are significant risk factors for a variety of mental health issues.
