Healthy Relationships
Learn about resources on campus to help you develop and maintain healthy relationships.
Healthy relationships are central to a stable emotional life — a prerequisite for performing at your best as a college student.
Here are some resources on campus that can help you achieve and maintain healthy relationships:
- Family issues? Recent breakup? Personality conflicts?
Make an appointment with Counseling and Psychological Services. Walk-in and telephone counseling are available.
- Healthy relationships and dating violence.
Learn what a healthy relationship looks like and how to be a good partner at Health Promotion's "Healthy Relationships and Dating Violence" presentation.
- Living a healthy social life
This includes being involved in meaningful activities with others. There are many ways you can make healthy choices by Getting Involved at SDSU.

Connectedness
"Feeling socially connected (to family, friends and the campus community in general) is an essential aspect of the college experience. . . If you feel socially disconnected and/or are new to college and looking to meet people, consider joining an organization or a club. . . . College can also be a time to develop romantic relationships. Relationships aren’t always easy, but there is never an excuse for violence or abuse in a relationship."
