Helping people connect so relationships flourish.

The Healthy Relationships Project is a video series designed to help families, couples, and individuals build and maintain healthy relationships — particularly during difficult times and unforeseen challenges.

Grounded in biblical truths, the content offers practical, easy to implement ideas designed help people reconnect with one another over a series of five videos. This includes recognising and using love languages, how to show compassion and empathy, strategies for deescalating conflict and helping children cope with emotions, and more. 

Fun fact.

Despite originally being founded to support people through the challenges of COVID-19, Healthy Relationships has flourished and remains a strong and relevant resource for Baptist churches and their groups today.


The material has been developed by a team of Baptist women from around Australia. Their collective expertise lies in social work, family health, domestic and family violence, child welfare, theology and pastoral care, and communications and project management.


Using the Healthy Relationships Project.

Project videos can be downloaded from Vimeo and uploaded to your church website, your social media accounts, placed directly into newsletters, or utilised by church members in the comfort of their own homes. You could also facilitate this program with a group. Each video is under five-minutes long, so they’re easy for all participants to watch and digest.


Engage, explore, grow, connect.
