Session 6: Positive Relationships

Relationships should be fun and exciting, but sometimes they can be tough. Resolving conflict and different wants and needs is part of having healthy relationships. Some relationships can be confusing, and it’s important to know if a relationship is healthy. A lot of it boils down to communication and still being your true self in the relationship.

Developing healthy relationships and communication is a foundation strategy to help you control your own behavior, speak up for what you stand for, and learn to involve people who support and encourage you to grow.

In week six of our summer series, we will explore Positive Relationships. We will have an opportunity to equip girls with tools to trust their gut, understand when and what to do when someone is being disrespectful or inferior, and how to combat negative or toxic friendships.

Positive Relationships & Communication strategies often create the pathways to:

• Stronger coping mechanisms and faster recovery from life challenges
• Empowerment in decision making that influence positive outcomes
• The confidence and clarity to set healthy boundaries
• An ability to see situations from multiple perspectives and create a better understanding with others
• Healthier self-talk and body image
• Better discernment and decision making
