Speaking Our Truth: Power and Consent in Relationships

Familial and romantic relationships are often defined and influenced by unique power dynamics. In these contexts, students can sometimes withhold important information about themselves for fear of emotional retribution (such as the silent treatment or withholding affection) which can negatively effect relational equity and power. Such experiences can significantly impact mental health, wellness, and the ability to focus on schoolwork and/or research. This workshop is for participants interested in exploring and navigating the complex power dynamics that arise within familial and romantic relationships. Participants will learn to: identify their own power, recognize unhealthy behaviors, and then walk away with tools and resources to better handle toxic relationship patterns in their lives.
