What this resource discusses
Relationship education can support clearer noticing of consent, communication, repair, limits, access, and impact. It cannot determine whether a relationship is safe or tell someone what decision to make.

Use it in the way that fits you
Read, write, draw, dictate, discuss with a trusted professional, or simply notice your reaction. You may skip questions, change the wording, stop before finishing, or return another day. No response is scored, interpreted, saved by this page, or used to diagnose you.
Before beginning
- Choose enough privacy, time, and steadiness for today.
- Decide what would tell you to pause.
- Keep identifying or safety-sensitive information off a monitored device.
- Use a licensed clinician, healthcare professional, attorney, trained advocate, qualified interpreter, crisis counselor, or emergency service when individualized help is needed.
