Healthy Relationships

These resources focus on interpersonal and intimate relationships. This information is specifically developed for people with an IVSC and addresses specific ways in which healthy and unhealthy behaviours and dynamics can relate to common experiences of having an IVSC.

This resource provided awareness and information around the features of abusive relationships, including recognising a range of warning signs, abusive behaviours and other issues in relationships, as well as information about how and where to get help.

Healthy Relationships

Having an IVSC is not a barrier to having happy, fulfilling and loving relationships and people with an IVSC have a range of relationship and relationship dynamics. These resources are here to support you wherever you are in your experiences of relationships or abuse.

Understanding Abuse

This resource focuses on ways to build, maintain and curate healthier relationships with people in our lives.
