Relationships affect every aspect of our wellbeing.

任何地方都存在着关系。我们生活的每个方面都存在着关系——无论是积极的还是消极的。

Relationship health impacts our emotional, mental, physical, occupational, financial, social, environmental, and spiritual wellbeing. Relationships can make the hard easy or the easy hard.

Public health is determined by many individual lives.

Relationship issues like separation, conflict, communication breakdown, trauma or loneliness are sometimes thought of as private matters, but really they are public matters. They can either be symptomatic of broader public health concerns like addiction, gambling, family domestic violence, and mental health challenges, or point to a range of larger social issues like entrenched disadvantage and inequality. Relationship Wellbeing is a key determinant of public health and an individual’s ability to participate, connect well with others, and thrive in life, and in our society – and that is something that benefits us all.

Seeing the full picture.

We believe everybody has the right to a dignified, socially valued and secure life. We also recognise that this is not always the experience for many people. The circumstances we face and opportunities we have, are determined by a range of factors, some that emerge in our lifetime and others that occurred generations ago, but continue to impact us.

Trauma, discrimination and disadvantage significantly impinge on a person’s experience of relationships. Adverse experiences can echo throughout lifetimes, families and generations, harming individual wellbeing and undermining social connections. Education, employment, finances, intimate relationships, parenting, and mental and physical health can all be harmed by intergenerational trauma.

The fabric of our society is woven with the threads of our relationships – to each other,
to ourselves, to our communities –
to the past, present and future. They are the fibre of our identity and belonging.

Early Intervention + Relationship Education

Relationship problems are often years in the making and they often multiply and grow. It’s never too early or too late to get help.

All our programs seek to intervene as early as possible in the life of the problem.
Our commitment to early intervention can include revisiting childhood or generational events, or take the form of proactive education with relationship literacy resources and tools.

We do this so that people are supported to make positive change and build healthy, strong relationships.
