Description
A toxic relationship rarely starts with shouting. It often starts with kindness, then slowly becomes hard to escape. The Toxic Relationship Course from High Skills Training helps you spot the warning signs early. This matters whether you are worried about yourself or someone close to you.
The course is for anyone worried about their own relationship, or about a friend or family member. It also suits support workers, teachers and safeguarding leads, who are often the first to notice abuse. To start, you learn what makes a relationship toxic and which early warning signs to look out for.
Once you know the signs, you learn how abusers use tricks like gaslighting, making someone doubt their own memory. You also see how toxic behaviour can affect a whole family, including children. Next, you look at domestic abuse, such as controlling money, cutting people off from friends, and stalking. Finally, you learn how to stay safe, where to find support in the UK, and what the law says. As a result, you will be ready to spot harm and guide people to the right help.
High Skills Training lets you study at your own pace, with 24/7 learner support. When you finish, you will get a FREE Digital Certificate. This course builds awareness but does not replace counselling or specialist support. Don’t let the warning signs go unnoticed. Start our Toxic Relationship Course today.
