Starting the Conversation: Helping Teens Build Healthy Relationships

Parents and caregivers play an important role in helping youth build healthy relationships—but conversations about friendships, dating, boundaries, and consent can sometimes feel difficult to begin. In this interactive session, participants will learn how to recognize healthy, unhealthy, and abusive relationship behaviors; create an environment where teens feel comfortable asking for help; and use everyday moments to start open, judgment-free conversations. Participants will leave with practical conversation starters, strategies for responding to concerns, and free resources from One Love Foundation.
