RELATIONSHIPS

 

Communication is key when it comes to healthy relationships. Whether it be talking about sex, advocating for your rights, encouraging your partner to get tested, or speaking up about an abusive relationship, sometimes it can be uncomfortable to talk about these topics. Not to worry, there are plenty of resources from IWannaKnow.org that can help guide you through how to approach conversations with your partner, your family and your peers. Remember, love shouldn’t hurt. Check out the resources below to learn the signs of dating abuse so that you can protect yourself or help a friend in need.  If you have ever experienced or are dealing with sexual assault, it is never your fault and it can be important to talk to someone. Learn about sexual assault services and support available through the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay.
