Building healthy relationships

Here at The Garden, we believe that everyone deserves to have healthy relationships, and we are committed to providing the resources and support teens need to build and maintain healthy relationships.



What are Healthy Relationships?

Healthy relationships are based on trust, respect, and communication. In a healthy relationship, both partners feel supported, valued, and loved. They are able to express themselves openly and honestly, and they feel comfortable asking for help when they need it.
