Healthy Relationships

Having healthy relationships within your life is important, and can affect your mental and physical wellbeing. Having healthy relationships makes you feel happy, respected and cared about. We have a large range of relationships in our lives and all relationships have their ups and downs which is normal, but sometimes support may be needed to navigate these relationships.

Use open discovery questions to make the most of conversations by recognising an opportunity to discuss healthy relationships. This could be 'How would you describe your current relationships?' or 'How are you finding things at the moment?'

Acknowledge the response by using healthy conversation skills such as active listening, reflecting or showing empathy. This will allow for a joint understanding of the support a person needs.

Take appropriate action to either give information, signpost to a local service or refer them yourself. Remember that the solution must be person centered and they must want to change.
