Is It Love? Dating Detox – Monday, Sept. 25, 12 to 12:50 p.m.
Nearly half of U.S. adults have experienced an incident of abuse in an intimate relationship. The reality of this statistic means many of us will know someone who has experienced or is experiencing some form of maltreatment. Is there a difference between a “toxic” relationship and an “abusive” relationship? Reanna Savage and Mike Fonda, from St. Peter’s Crime Victim Services, invite you to join them in an open, unbiased discussion on knowing the differences between the two, with an equal focus on also recognizing the “green flags” and healthy behaviors of positive relationships.
