Living Well 2020Spectrum of Relationships

The Spectrum of RelationshipsAny connection or bond between two people can be considered a relationship. This includes family members, friends, dating partners, co-workers, acquaintances and even, to a certain degree, strangers we come into contact with. Relationships exist on a spectrum and can range from healthy to abusive, with unhealthy existing somewhere in between.Think of one of your closest relationships.
