For this campaign, we partnered with Fastn and Leaders Unlocked, and schools involved in the Peer Education Project, to talk to young people about healthy relationships; what's important, how they recognise, build and maintain healthy relationships, and how relationships can affect our mental health and wellbeing.
When we think about the relationships we have, we often think about those that involve other people, however even if we may not be aware of it yet, we also have a relationship with ourselves. This relationship with ourselves includes how we speak and act towards ourselves as well as the ways in which we look after ourselves.
A healthy relationship with ourselves or our peers can be built through kindness, care, trust, honesty and respect. Our research has found that being connected with ourselves and others in healthy and meaningful ways can help us support our own mental health and wellbeing, and that of others.
Having healthy relationships with ourselves and our peers can help tackle feelings of loneliness and isolation and improve our mental health.
