Delivery: Synchronous Virtual Classroom via Zoom

Boundaries are an integral part of our work, yet they are often misunderstood because there are so many nuances involved. Participants will gain a greater understanding of why boundaries are so important to have in the workplace, both personal and professional, and how to navigate the challenges along the way. In doing so, participants will be able to more effectively identify unhealthy boundaries, and feel more comfortable establishing clear and healthy boundaries with clients, families and colleagues.

Training Objectives: At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Understand why boundaries are so important, and the role of context.
2. Recognize what to consider when thinking about boundaries, and understand the differences between personal and professional boundaries.
3. Identify what makes unhealthy boundaries, and learn how to implement clear and healthy boundaries in the workplace.

This workshop is appropriate for all levels of practitioners in varied practice settings.
