In this episode we dive into what can make a friendship unhealthy or toxic. We share out a list of 12 common red-flags that may be visible in a toxic friendship, along with some personal stories of the red-flags we have experienced in our own friendships. We discuss considerations for how to navigate a toxic friendship, and insight on setting personal boundaries or leaving that relationship altogether. "What is Respect in a Healthy Relationship?"

Impact of Domestic Violence on Children & Survivors

The goal of this podcast is to hold meaningful and empowering conversations on subjects pertaining to relationship violence, assault, and abuse. As trained Prevention Educators, our day to day work is focusing on providing education on recognizing signs of unhealthy and abusive behaviors, and how to identify/provide resources for support in dealing with these issues. We also want these conversations to be a chance to provide self-empowerment by sharing out important concepts on how to take care of ourselves, especially so we can take care of others. This podcast is a place where we can extend these important conversations outside of our own communities, to educate, deconstruct, and come together in solidarity on these issues.
