This report, Healthy Development Depends on Healthy Relationships, specifically outlines what research has shown in terms of the links between children’s health and their relationships in the home, school, community, and more broadly. In addition, results of analyses conducted using data from the 2009-2010 Canadian Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children study (HBSC) demonstrate this link between healthy relationships and healthy development in the Canadian context.
