Role of Healthy Relationship Champions
We would like to know how you get on and we are interested in hearing about how you help people with their
relationship or develop a community activity. It would be good if you could capture what happens when
you do. We have templates if that is useful? Please focus on what you have done to help and what
happened as a result rather than details about the individuals you support.
Suggestions to improve the e-resource or useful local contacts are very welcome too.
Tell us your story
