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.

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?
Join HRI, Fellowship Hall, and the UNC Greensboro Spartan Recovery Program to learn from women living in recovery. They’ll offer insights into how professionals can best serve women impacted by addiction and recovery.
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.
Kindness and Communication
By establishing open, honest communication and striving for kindness in your relationships, you can build stronger and deeper connections with the ones you love!
Mutual Respect
Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect. Validating and valuing someone’s feelings, even if you don’t understand them, goes a long way in establishing trust and deepening connection.
A Balanced Relationship
In a balanced relationship, both people are able to maintain their individuality and have their needs met. They share mutual respect and strive to support one another during challenges, as well as accomplishments.
Boundaries Protect Your Identity & Choices
When you set boundaries in your relationships, you are protecting your identity, dreams, fears, and limits. Healthy boundaries allow both you and the other person to feel heard, respected, and valued in the relationship!
It Takes Two Wholes
In a healthy relationship, both partners are seen as individuals with their own lives, identities, dreams, values, fears, and anxieties. They are not an extension of one another. Instead, they are two separate and whole people who choose to share their lives together.
