Romantic Relationships

If you need to speak with an external helpline about relationships, please keep scrolling. 

Romantic relationships are a normal part of late adolescence and adulthood. Having a rewarding and safe romantic relationship takes effort from both people involved. Knowing each other's expectations/wishes, and how to communicate with each other are really important aspects of having a good relationship.

ReachOut have great information and resources on romantic relationships and sex (including information on consent, safe sex and contraception). Scroll through and see if any of the posts apply to you. If you need to speak with someone at school, see Reaching Out for Support to get in touch.

Watch these videos on communication in a relationship and domestic/intimate partner violence for more information in these areas.
