We all deserve positive relationships

September 16, 2024 — 
In healthy intimate relationships, partners can live their individual lives feeling emotionally and physically safe to be who they are.

At UM’s Sexual Violence Resource Centre (SVRC), we regularly provide support to students, staff and faculty who are living in situations that do not feel safe to them. Learn more about what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like, intimate partner violence, and available support.
