Welcome to Healthy Relationships

We are born wired to form bonds. In fact, people who have good relationships are more likely to be happy and satisfied with their lives. They are less likely to have mental or physical health problems and they are less likely to take the kinds of risks that affect their health. Your relationships affect every area of your life: education, work, personal, finance and health.

Positive relationships with friends, family and coworkers open our eyes to new experiences, cheer us up when we're down, provide critical support during times of stress and, perhaps most importantly, help us to stay healthier for life. In this section of the ChangeU Library, you'll find tips and strategies to help you look at the relationships you have now and work on making them better.
