For this week's post, you will watch a TED Talk and take a look through some additional videos and resources focused on spotting signs of relationship troubles and how to seek, establish, and maintain healthy romantic relationships.

First, watch Katie Hood's TED Talk where she describes the difference between healthy and unhealthy love. The video is about 12 minutes long. Next, take a little time to review the One Love Foundation Website, particularly under Relationships 101 see Videos. where you can find several short educational videos detailing warning signs of unhealthy relationships.

I know it's a topic some may feel uncomfortable discussing, but that's one reason why it's so important to address!

WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT:

After you have watched the TED Talk and perused the website, write a brief paragraph where you: 1) Share your reaction to the TED Talk - what stood out? 2) Share your thoughts about the information on the website. One of their goals is to "derail abusive behavior before it starts and impact the relationship health of an entire generation." Do you feel like this kind of program would be effective if presented to high school students? Are the videos an effective tool? Did any videos stand out to you as particularly helpful or unhelpful?
