I am concerned about my behaviour
The signs of an unhealthy relationship and the harmful behaviours that lead to family violence are not always obvious. All relationships have ups and downs and we all react differently when experiencing the downs.
We are here to help

Sign of unhealthy behaviour
When something goes wrong in your relationships, how do you handle the situation? Have you ever:
- Yelled, accused, ‘name-called’ or ‘put-down’ the other person?
- Focused on winning, instead of a solution?
- Destroyed the other person’s belongings?
- Tried to control the other person’s behaviour?
- Harassed or threatened the other person?
- Made the other person feel scared of you?
The hardest part about changing your behaviour is first admitting you need to. If someone else is scared of you or if people tell you that your behaviour is frightening, consider their past experiences with you.
Changing your behaviour takes courage, effort and determination. Once you begin to make these changes, it will bring you and others’ lifelong rewards.
