She talked in depth about the importance of handling healthy relations in life and also the ways to maintain it. She discussed Healthy relations, Unhealthy relations and Toxic relations. The various dimensions of each of these were discussed and activities were also given to students to better understand which among these is better. Ms. Aswathi concluded her talk with some
tips for maintaining Healthy Relationships. What is needed is : 
> Acceptance not avoidance.
> Adaptation not adjustment.
>Empathy not sympathy
>Assertiveness not aggressiveness.


She concluded that one need not cling to a relationship if there is no scope for one's growth and happiness. Toxic relationships are the most harmful. Our self respect is not to be sacrificed under any circumstances. One should always stand up for one's rights. Many such ideas were put forward by the resource person which the audience felt valuable. The programme came to an end with the vote of thanks delivered by Bhagya Murali, I B.Ed student and a member of GCTE's Women's Cell.
