Purpose and Limitations of the Relationship Resource Network
The Relationship Resource Network is designed for educational and informational purposes only. No
counseling, diagnostic, or assessment services are being or will be provided to anyone
through this site. Individual relationship advice will not be provided through this site or any
communication channels associated with this site (i.e., e-mail, electronic forms, blogging).
Please look in the "Finding a Counselor" section for databases of professionals who provide these
services. Please note that Dr. Christine E. Murray, the Founder of the Relationship Resource Network, is
not accepting counseling clients at the present time.

The Relationship Resource Network is not a health care provider and is not providing any health care or
mental health care services. The use of the Relationship Resource Network does not create a
counselor/therapist--client/patient or any sort of professional, contractual, or legal relationship between
users and Dr. Christine E. Murray, founder of the Relationship Resource Network, or any other mental
health professionals associated with the Relationship Resource Network. Therefore, any information
exchanged through electronic or other means related to the Relationship Resource Network is not
intended to be governed by HIPAA because it is not a form of health information. Information exchanged
also is not intended to be subject to any other rights of privacy or confidentiality.

Relationships vary widely, and there are many different ways for individuals to be in healthy, satisfying
relationships. The information included on this web-site may or may not be relevant or useful to you, your

representations, or promises regarding outcomes and impacts of the information provided on this site
and its application within users' relationships. For this reason, please consider carefully the potential
consequences of applying the information to your relationship. A qualified mental health professional may
be a helpful resource for making these determinations.

of 18 who wish to use this site must obtain parental permission prior to doing so, and they bear full
responsibility for maintaining appropriate documentation of that permission.

External Links
The Relationship Resource Network contains links to other sites. These links are provided for
informational purposes only. The sites to which links are provided are independent from the Relationship
Resource Network, so no guarantees are provided as to the nature, quality, and recency of the
information provided on those external sites.

There are sections of this web-site (e.g., the Contact Us and Real Life Love Stories sections) that allow

e-mail address is provided for users to contact the Relationship Resource Network staff directly. Efforts
will be made not to disclose the identity of users who communicate with us through these channels.
Communications sent through this site are received by a password-protected e-mail account.

Users should note that there are limitations to the security of electronic information, and the Relationship
Resource Network will not be held liable for security limitations resulting from such instances as the

However, the Relationship Resource Network staff will make every effort to correct any unintentional
disclosure as soon as possible after they are brought to our attention.

The Relationship Resource Network will make an effort to respond to all communications through this site

do respond to such correspondences. The Relationship Resource Network is not a crisis
intervention provider.
