About the event

Think you can recognise the signs of an unhealthy relationship? There are still a few spaces left for our hour-long workshop on Thursday 21 November, 11:00-12:00, DM Seminar D.

We'll help you understand what makes relationships healthy (or not) in a welcoming, safe space, open to all. We'll explore:

  • how to recognise coercive control and domestic abuse
  • misconceptions about unhealthy relationships
  • how to support a friend and
  • where to get help.

Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected in their relationships. Let's work together to understand the signs and create positive connections. Sign up here

Remember, we’re here to help. If you’re looking for support, please get in touch with our Wellbeing Services
