Intro to Healthy Relationships Awareness Series |  Spotting Red Flags and Building Stronger Connections

Healthy relationships are the foundation of emotional well-being. They offer support during challenges, joy during good times, and safety during difficult moments. But not every relationship is healthy—and sometimes, the warning signs aren’t as obvious as we’d like to believe.

This Healthy Relationships Awareness Series is designed to help you:

  • Recognize red flags that may indicate an unhealthy or unsafe relationship
  • Learn how to respond to concerning behaviors in safe, constructive ways
  • Understand what to do if you notice these patterns in yourself
  • Develop healthier relationship skills so you can foster connection, trust, and respect

Each article focuses on one common red flag, explains why it’s harmful, and offers practical, actionable steps—whether you’re setting boundaries, considering changes, or seeking safety.

Topics in This Series:

  1. Lack of Respect for Boundaries
  2. Excessive Control or Possessiveness
  3. Frequent Criticism or Belittling
  4. Gaslighting
  5. Isolation
  6. Unpredictable Anger or Emotional Volatility
  7. Refusal to Take Responsibility
  8. Physical or Sexual Intimidation

Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, trust, communication, and safety. We hope this series helps you not only spot problems but also take steps toward relationships that help you thrive.
