Everyone deserves healthy relationships.
When talking about “relationships”, we’re talking about romantic and/or sexual relationships, but also friendships and other kinds of relationships. The bottom line is you deserve to feel respected, appreciated, and supported by those around you. This may look different for different relationships.
