PDC Talks: Safety, Relationships, and Wellbeing

Hello and welcome back to PDC Talks: Health, Safety and Wellbeing. We are recording today from the County Satellite Crisis Center located at 1101 Highway 301 Nrth in Dillon, SC. We are presenting to you today important information on Victim Advocacy, why it is important not just for Dillon county but for all who value the basic human desire to be free from physical threat and harm.

If your boundaries were ever invaded or they weren’t respected growing up, it may be difficult to assert them or even believe in your right to them. In this podcast episode, we'll be breaking down the term boundaries. What are they? When do we need them? How do we establish them? Can we adjust them over time? Explore ways to take care of your authentic self while maintaining healthy relationships.
