Healthy Relationships: Know the Signs

About the Event: Join us this November for our MHA Speaker Series with Devone Scala, Coordinator of Prevention Education, Willow Domestic Violence Center

This interactive workshop will help participants recognize the differences between healthy, unhealthy, and dangerous relationships by exploring common behaviors and red flags. Participants will learn about the spectrum of relationship behaviors, with a focus on self-worth, setting boundaries, and technology-related concerns. The workshop will also provide guidance on how to support someone who discloses that they may be in a dangerous relationship.
