Isolation takes many forms – access to support, perspective and feedback is important for building healthy, lasting relationships and communities. This workshop will explore how we talk about our relationship concerns with our friends and family (chosen or otherwise). How do we keep confidentiality and when is it the right time to share our concerns about issues of safety?
