Supporting young people to end unhealthy behaviours in their relationships
Cover your tracks. Delete your online search history.
If you are worried about your own behaviour towards someone you care about, there are some programmes to help. If you identify with any of the following:
- Are you hitting, kicking, or causing physical harm to your parent or carer?
- Do you frequently shout at them?
- Do you regularly criticise them or put them down?
It's normal to have disagreements with your parents or carers and argue from time to time. But if you are intentionally causing harm and your actions are motivated by extreme feelings of anger and jealousy, that’s not healthy. Confidential help is available.
There are two programmes that help young people develop a better understanding of safe, healthy and happy relationships:
- Respect Young People’s Programme - aimed for ages between 10 to 21 who are displaying harmful behaviours towards their parents or carers.
- Encouraging Healthy Relationships Programme - to help improve relationships with their partner or their siblings.
