Blog 18: 2 Hour Meeting Answer 3


1.     What is the best awareness tool that can be use to reduce the risk of being abused in an intimate partner relationship?
2.     One of the best awareness tools that can reduce you risk of being abused is to set healthy boundaries with your partner.
3.      “Healthy boundaries means knowing and understanding what your limits are.” This summarizes what healthy boundaries doin a relationship and why they are important. “ When you set healthy boundaries, you are naming your limits.” Right from the beginning of the relationship you are able to tell your partner what is and is not okay. You know how far you want to go and what you are ready for. “When you have healthy boundaries, you make self-care a priority” This means that you put yourself and you feeling first. You are aware of your emotions and can set time aside for yourself
