Family and Relationships

Relationships are one of the most important aspects of our lives. People who are more socially connected to family, friends, or their community are happier, physically healthier and live longer.

It is clear that social relationships are critical for promoting wellbeing and for acting as a buffer against mental ill health for people of all ages.

While our relationships impact on our mental health, it is important to remember that our mental health can impact on how we connect with others and how we develop relationships.

Below are videos and resources you can access on family and couples relationship support from Relate NI. We have also developed information and advice on relationships with your children.
