Unhealthy Relationships

“While everyone does unhealthy things sometimes, we can all learn to love better by recognizing unhealthy signs and shifting to healthy behaviors.

  1. Intensity
  2. Manipulation

  4. Guilting
  5. Deflecting Responsibility
  6. Possessiveness

A healthy relationship does not mean a “perfect” relationship, and no one is healthy 100% of the time, but the signs below are behaviors you should strive for in all of your relationships. Healthy relationships manifest themselves as healthy communication, but in order to have a healthy relationship, you need to love yourself first. Here are some characteristics and behaviors of a healthy relationship.”

  3. Respect
  4. Kindness
  5. Healthy Conflict

Sharing Concerns:
Reporting Violence and Other Concerning Behaviors

According to the NC State Campus/Workplace Violence Prevention & Management Regulation, it is the responsibility of all employees and students at NC State to be alert to the possibility of violence on the part of prospective, current or former employees or students as well as campus visitors and to submit a Concerning Behavior Referral.

Early recognition, intervention, and referral are critical to getting someone help and decreasing risk. Taking action can save a job, an education, a career—or a life.

If you find yourself worried or alarmed about an individual who is distressed or troubled you should submit a Concerning Behavior Referral.

If an individual’s behavior appears to be an imminent threat to safety, contact the NC State University Police immediately at 919-515-3000.

Unhealthy Relationship Concerns

If you are concerned about an NC State employee or student being in an unhealthy or abusive relationship, submit a Concerning Behavior Referral. The Department of Risk Assessment can help you and/or this individual get connected with resources and do safety planning.
