Consent is a clear, mutual, and ongoing agreement between people to engage in any kind of activity, emotional, physical, or sexual. It must be freely given, informed, and can be withdrawn at any time.
Healthy relationships are built on trust, communication, equality, and respect. They empower individuals to express themselves, set boundaries, and feel supported. Whether it’s a friendship, romantic relationship, or anything in between, everyone has the right to feel heard and safe.
If you’re struggling in a relationship or want to better understand what healthy connection looks like, support is available, whenever you’re ready.
