Welcome to Wellspring’s Springboard: Sparking Real Conversations, where you learn answers to the questions you didn’t know you had about relationships or the things you may have wondered about but were too afraid to ask. We take a dive deep into uncharted waters, provide insight, and promote defining your own relationship while you get to participate in the capacity you choose. Whether that‘s just listening, taking notes, or contemplating a change in your life; we‘re here to offer a safe space to explore murky topics and jump into the conversations we all sometimes avoid so we can grow together to make change.
Technology is a part of our every day lives. From phones, to smart homes, ring doorbells, and self driving vehicles. What if technology was being used to monitor you without your consent? What can you do when an abuser wants to use technology against you?
