Umeed Psychology presents Navigating Relationships Workshop Series: A sequence of workshops designed to designed to provide an understanding and a safe space to practice the foundational skills and self-awareness required to navigate and nurture your relationships with friends, partners, family and self.

Relationships require a lot of effort to start, maintain and end, let alone the fact that different relationships come with their unique sets of expectations, joy and challenges. But as humans, especially those who were raised in a collective multicultural society, nurturing relationships are vital to our mental wellbeing. It is strongly tied to our sense of belonging. And yet, we've never been told or educated on how best we can maintain and nurture our relationships with others while respecting our own space and boundaries.

This workshop series is designed to help you discuss your shared experiences in navigating relationships with yourself, friends, partners and family, understand how to identify your needs, learn effective communication and boundary setting skills to protect yourself and show up authentically in your relationships.

Join us for part 1 of 10 workshops, where we will hold discussions around how to identify your wants and needs independent of your friends, partners, family and community.
