___ = ? Total

TALK with someone you trust -

friend, teacher, or counselor.

If a partner, friend, or colleague is harming you or your loved ones physically, emotionally,

or sexually,

it's time to seek help.

If s/he is encouraging other harmful behaviors, like alcohol or drug abuse, unsafe

sexual activity, or other activities that make you feel uncomfortable,

YOU have the right to leave.

- Most importantly TRUST your instincts and the people close to you whose

   opinions you trust and value.

- Each and every one of us deserves to feel safe, valued, and cared for.

- Keep in mind one of the strongest signs of a healthy relationship is that both people

   involved feel good about themselves.

PEACE!
