Be intentional about having fun and planning exciting activities with your loved ones! Having fun together creates deeper bonds and builds stronger relationships.
Conflict is an Opportunity
Conflict is an inevitable part of relationships, and though it can seem scary, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. When we use healthy relationship skills to repair conflict, it becomes an opportunity for us deepen intimacy and build connection in our relationships.
Express Love and Affection
Expressing your feelings of love and affection toward your partner shows them that they are valued, respected, and appreciated. Doing small things, such as holding their hand, giving them a kiss goodbye, or leaving a love note can go a long way in building a happier and healthier relationship!
Relationship Maintenance
Checking in with yourself, as well as your partner, about what is or isn’t working in your relationship can help you make positive changes and work toward a stronger, healthier, and happier relationship.
Replenish Your Spirit
Make self-care a priority because you are worthy of rest. When you take time to do something kind for yourself, you will feel recharged and be the best version of yourself for the ones you love. Self-care helps build healthy relationships!
Celebrate Each Other’s Successes
Couples who celebrate one another’s successes, no matter how big or small, with sincere joy, build a stronger, more intimate bond in their relationship!
Build Each Other Up
In healthy relationships, partners support and encourage one another instead of criticizing and breaking each other down.
Make Family Time a Priority
Be intentional about setting aside time to connect with your family! When you prioritize family time, you are showing your family members that they are loved and valued, while also setting the precedent that quality time is valued within your family.
9/10/19: Lived Experiences Professional Training: Breaking Down Barriers Between Women and Recovery
It’s been said, “A woman’s work is never done.” How does this notion apply to the “work” of recovery from addiction, and what barriers can add to the challenges of that work?

This is a training program for any professionals whose work addresses relationship and family concerns, as well as those working in the addictions and mental health fields.
The program is free, but advance registration is required. To register for this training, please visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lived-experiences-training-breaking-down-barriers-between-women-recovery-tickets-65414485487.
