We begin conversations by talking about what makes a good friend or partner, talking about respecting boundaries, and appropriate communication. There's a bigger component about dating and relationships in our Health and Well Being Class 12:50:33 From Lauri Kaplan : Thanks Kathi, Fits well within a Health class 12:51:18 From Kate Borg to All panelists : 5 minute warning 12:56:46 From Sally Garlick : great discussion! 12:56:54 From Margaret Howell : This has been so informative.
