Course Description

The course “Exploring Teen Self-Esteem: The Impact of Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships” delves into the intricate connection between teenage self-esteem and the nature of their relationships. We'll examine how healthy relationships can bolster self-esteem while unhealthy ones can undermine it, impacting various aspects of a teen's life.


The training defines what constitutes as a healthy relationship built on respect, communication, trust, and support, contrasting it with the warning signs and dynamics of unhealthy relationships marked by disrespect, poor communication, jealousy, and abuse. The training explores how healthy relationships contribute positively to self-esteem, fostering confidence, emotional well-being, and a sense of worth. Conversely, we'll discuss how unhealthy relationships can erode self-esteem, leading to self-doubt, insecurity, and mental health challenges. Viewers will learn to identify the signs of both healthy and unhealthy relationships and ways to empower teenage clients to make informed choices and set boundaries that protect their self-esteem and wellbeing. 

This is a beginner’s level course and there are no specific prerequisites for this course. The course is open to social work professionals, students, and individuals interested in gaining knowledge and skills related to supporting teenage clients who are navigating healthy and unhealthy relationships, and promoting positive self-image and mental wellness.
